When danger strikes, love becomes the deadliest game. District Attorney Kinley Lincoln is a force to be reckoned with - until a high profile case resulted in a brutal attempt on her life, shattering her carefully constructed world. She's propelled into protective custody, her independence stripped away. Zane "Hawke" Hawkens is a battle-hardened, former military operative turned elite protector. Leading a team at Noble Network Security, he's dedicated to shielding the vulnerable - yet he's haunted by the ghosts of battles fought and lost. When fate brings Kinley back into his life, he's thrust into a mission that's far more personal than he ever expected. When a ruthless enemy closes in, Hawke and Kinley are forced to navigate through the crosshairs of legal battles and lethal threats. Together they must outmaneuver a deadly adversary, but Kinley's determined to take charge - which could get her killed. In a world where trust can be fatal, protecting Kinley might just cost Hawke everything. He's her last line of defense - and she's his biggest weakness.
