He expects a simple extraction mission but finds himself drawn to this traumatized woman who carries extraordinary gifts. Grace discovers that Rio offers more than protection. He becomes her sanctuary and gives her something she thought she had lost forever. Their growing connection deepens as they work together to stay ahead of the forces hunting her. The organization that once imprisoned Grace will stop at nothing to reclaim their valuable asset. Grace and Rio must navigate escalating threats while confronting their feelings for each other.
