Security expert Matthias Clarke hunts down people who don t want to be found. His latest prey: the sole survivor of a massacre that killed his brother years ago. Kayla Roy claimed she was a victim of the carnage. Then she disappeared. Matthias thinks Kayla may have actually been the killer and he wants justice. Kayla Roy never stays in one place too long and never lets a man get too close. But keeping Matthias at arm s length may be impossible. Dark and enigmatic, Matthias draws Kayla in from the start. She knows nothing about his connection to her dark past, or his thirst for vengeance. She only knows their attraction feels overpowering and very dangerous. Matthias s suspicions about the sensual Kayla clash with his instinct to protect her, especially when he realizes her life is in danger. But Kayla s not looking for a savior especially one who seems hell-bent on tempting her down a lethal path. "
Matthias is paired with Garrett (Wren's right hand man from book #1 The Fixer) to look into the murder of the brother he never knew he had. Kayla has been running for 7 years after her friends were murdered in their house and she was one of the suspects. Changing identities over the years to escape the past has left her distrustful and paranoid. Matthias and Garrett are hot on her trail and stake her out as they hang around the diner she works at. Matthias gets to know her a little and is attracted but unsure since she might have murdered his brother. The banter between the three of them, the awkward conversations, and the attraction grows along with threats and danger. Matthias will stop at nothing to find the truth and get the girl. Kayla is ready to ditch and run but there's something about Matthias.
