In a city where secrets are currency and truth is a dangerous pursuit, two strangers are about to collide in ways neither of them expected. Cyan Merin lives in the shadows. To the public, he's a quiet analyst with a forgettable face. In reality, he’s a government-trained undercover operative, embedded deep in a mission so confidential, even his allies don’t know the full truth. He trusts no one—until he meets her. Mira Solene chases headlines like fire. A fierce investigative journalist with a sharp mind and a sharper pen, Mira has made enemies in high places. When a story gets her too close to something deadly, she ends up in a hospital hallway—face-to-face with the one man whose secrets might just outmatch her own. Their encounter is accidental. Their connection is undeniable. But in a world of spies, lies, and betrayals, nothing stays hidden for long. As Mira gets closer to exposing the truth, Cyan is forced to choose between protecting the mission—or protecting her. Love, secrets, and survival—this isn’t just a story.
