New York police lieutenant Eve Dallas has survived over ten years on the force by trusting her instincts. In 2058, technology dominates every aspect of life, but murder still requires old-fashioned detective work. When Dallas investigates a brutal killing, she encounters Roarke, an Irish billionaire who becomes her prime suspect. Everything about him screams danger. Her training warns her to keep her distance. Her survival instincts tell her to run. Instead, she finds herself drawn to him with an intensity that threatens to compromise everything. Roarke is charming, wealthy, and potentially lethal. He could be the ruthless killer she seeks. Yet Dallas cannot resist the pull between them, even as the investigation deepens and the stakes rise. She must choose between following protocol and following her heart, knowing that the wrong choice could destroy her career or end her life.
