"Taking a life, even when it was justified, had a way of killing the soul just a little bit. Because it was almost as if you were admitting to having no hope - no hope that good could triumph over evil without becoming just a little bit evil itself." Despite keeping secrets and concealing her past, Kit Forrester loves her life. She's a successful writer, surrounded by good friends, and accountable to no one. But when a cold-blooded war criminal is hired to assassinate her, Kit must choose between her own survival and justice for thousands. Determined to protect Kit and the life she's built, Garret Cantona isn't happy with the choice she has to make. Especially when throwing Kit back into her broken past and risking everything they've created together may be the only way they can survive.

CIA agent Danielle "Dani" Williamson never stops believing that one day she'll find the man who killed her parents and stole her childhood. And when the nightmare she relives in her dreams is played out in carbon copy and linked to a group the CIA believes is planning a terrorist attack in the US, Dani thinks she might finally have her chance. Detective Ty Fuller loved being a Navy SEAL, but after seeing one too many innocent children killed, he was no longer able to stomach the world of politics, manipulation, and death. Now, as a detective with his local vice squad, he likes to think he's helping kids by keeping drugs off the streets--local problems, local solutions. But when Dani and her team arrive, they bring a case bigger than anything Ty's small New England town has seen in decades, drugs in exchange for weapons-lots of them. And as the case unfolds and the tensions simmer between them, Dani and Ty discover that all is not what it seems. Uncovering a web of manipulation that spans the globe and reaches all the way to the US president, they know the price for justice will be high, risking not just their fledgling relationship, but their very lives.

Independence. Kit Forrester is a woman who wears her independence like armor. Despite keeping secrets and hiding her past, she’s built a life she loves and is accountable to no one. Until, that is, one of the world’s most wanted war criminals sets his sights on her and she must weigh the risk to one against the chance of justice and closure for many―a decision Kit couldn't make on her own even if she wanted to. Certainty. As a man who makes his living in the shadows of governments and wars, certainty isn’t a part of Garret Cantona’s vocabulary, and he’s just fine with that. But when Kit walks into his life, he realizes he’s never before been so sure about anything or anyone. Suddenly, he finds that he’s looking at the world, his world, in a different light. And now that he is, he’s determined to protect it, and her, in whatever way he can. Frailty. No one knows better than Kit and Garret that an appreciation for what is, or what was, or what might be, can be born from the uncertainty and fragility of life. But when a hunt for a killer leaves Garret no choice but to throw Kit back into her broken and damaged past, even his unshakable faith in what they have together might not be enough to keep it from shattering into a million pieces.
