One woman's desperate hunt for the truth... One man's guilt-ridden past... Together, they'll uncover secrets worth killing for.

He was her brother's partner. Now he might be her only hope...or her greatest danger.

Mari Johnson knows the CIA is lying about her brother's "suicide."

Every night, he haunts her dreams, begging for justice. When the agency stonewalls her investigation, there's only one person left to turn to—her brother's dangerously attractive partner, Nik Stanley.

Nik can't escape the memory of watching his best friend die. The guilt follows him everywhere. As an operative in the secretive Project Specter, he uses his paranormal abilities to gather intelligence—but he never saw this betrayal coming.

When these two wounded souls collide, their search for answers ignites a passion neither expected. But their investigation has stirred a hornet's nest of powerful enemies willing to kill to keep their secrets buried.
