Part of KGI, book 10
First published 2015
Hancock has worked both sides against the middle with the Kelly Group International teams, his true loyalties always hidden behind layers of deception. The mysterious operative follows orders without question, prioritizing duty above all human connection. His current assignment seems straightforward: guard a female prisoner while his superiors extract what they need from her. But this captive breaks through defenses he has spent years building. She reaches something in him that he thought had died long ago. Now Hancock faces an impossible choice. He can complete the mission that has consumed years of careful planning and positioning. Or he can save the one woman who has managed to touch his frozen heart. The KGI teams have never been able to predict his next move, but this decision will define him forever. The woman suffers in captivity while Hancock wrestles with feelings that threaten everything he has worked toward. His handlers expect absolute compliance, but his heart pulls him in a different direction entirely.
