He's a vigilante with blood on his hands. She's an FBI agent hunting a killer. Falling in love could get them both killed.

FBI Special Agent Mallory Rooney has spent eighteen years searching for her twin sister's abductor. When a brutal series of murders echoes that cold case, Mallory is determined to track down the killer -- no matter the cost.

Alex Parker is a war hero with a shadowed soul. By day, he's a cybersecurity expert. By night, he operates off the books -- eliminating predators the justice system fails to stop. When Mallory's investigation puts her in the crosshairs of a sadistic killer, Alex steps in from the shadows to keep her safe.

But Mallory is getting too close -- to the truth, to the killer, and to Alex himself. And while she's falling for the man who's saved her life, she doesn't know he's already crossed the line between justice and revenge.
