Lazar "Keys" Alexeev should have left town after Czar ended his undercover work. Instead, the Torpedo Ink member finds himself drawn to Lyric Johansen, a small redhead whose smile disrupts his focus. Keys can't explain why he keeps breaking club rules to see a woman who doesn't fit his usual preferences. Lyric avoids eye contact with most people, but Keys's steady gaze calms her panic attacks. When she jumps in to help him fight off attackers, both end up trapped in a coffin, facing death together. Survival requires complete concentration, but when Keys kisses Lyric to stop her from losing control, he's the one who falls apart. Now he must fight his way out of an impossible situation, driven by the need to taste her lips again.
