*"Some secrets are worth killing for. Some love is worth dying for."*
Six months after exposing the conspiracy that nearly destroyed them, Amara Blake and Jace Donovan thought they'd found their happily ever after. Senior partners at Sterling & Associates, engaged, and finally free to love without fear - until Selene Grant's prison transport exploded in flames on a remote highway outside Quantico.
Now they're deep undercover in Silicon Valley, posing as a power couple infiltrating Nexus Technologies - a tech giant harboring secrets that could topple governments. By day, they're high-level consultants in boardrooms lined with secrets. By night, they're fighting for their lives against enemies who know their every move - and aren't afraid to strike first.
**But the real danger isn't the international conspiracy...**
It's the way Jace's hands shake when he thinks he's lost her. The way Amara's pulse races when she sees him across a crowded boardroom, knowing they're both one wrong word away from a bullet. The way their cover story - newlyweds drunk on success and each other - becomes more real than either of them expected.
And the way maintaining their cover means stolen kisses in server rooms, heated encounters in penthouse suites, and passionate nights where the line between acting and reality disappears completely.
**Preview:**
"*We have a problem,*" Agent Blackwell's voice crackled through their earpieces as Amara adjusted her evening gown, the hidden wire cool against her skin.
*Define problem,* Jace murmured, his hand finding the small of her back as they approached the Nexus Technologies gala. To anyone watching, he was simply guiding his beautiful wife through the crowd of tech elite. Only Amara could feel the tension coiled in his muscles, ready to strike.
"*Selene Grant was spotted in San Francisco two hours ago. She's here, and she's not alone.*"
Amara's blood turned to ice, but she kept her smile perfectly in place as they entered the ballroom. "How many?"
"*We count at least six hostiles. Maybe more. And Amara?*" Blackwell's voice dropped to a whisper. "*We think they know who you really are.*"
The lights dimmed as the evening's presentation began, and in the darkness, Jace's lips brushed her ear. "If this goes sideways, I need you to run. Promise me."
"Like hell." She turned to face him, seeing her own fierce determination reflected in his eyes. "We're in this together, remember?"
"Together," he agreed, just as the first gunshot shattered the chandelier above their heads.
Later, pressed against the wall of their hotel suite as sirens wailed outside, their cover story became breathtakingly real. "I can't lose you," he whispered against her throat, hands mapping every curve like he was memorizing her. "Not now. Not ever."
"Then don't let me go," she gasped, pulling him closer as the world outside their door burned.
