Emery Maves wakes up in an unfamiliar world with her memories wiped clean. Only fragments remain: dreams filled with violence and betrayal, and the face of a man named Mori whose cold stare holds secrets she cannot recall. An experimental drug courses through her system, fracturing her mind while making her nearly indestructible. Cameron Mortem knows that getting close to Emery again could destroy them both, but her amnesia traps them in a cycle neither can escape. When a critical black ops mission goes catastrophically wrong, they plunge into the criminal underworld facing an enemy they never expected. As buried conspiracies surface and old wounds reopen, Emery realizes her connection to this dark world runs deeper than she imagined. Cameron must confront his greatest fear: the man he has become. Their relationship, once sealed in blood, might be their only salvation. But first they must survive the forces trying to tear them apart and the secrets that could consume them both.
