Morgan Drake never thought his life would be reduced to shadows and whispers. After witnessing the cold-blooded murder of a whistleblower at the hands of a corrupt cop, he becomes the only person who can testify—and the next target. When the FBI safe house is compromised and his handler goes dark, Morgan is forced to flee. He has nowhere left to turn… except Sanctuary.

Nik Valentinov is used to high-risk protection—calm under fire, emotionally detached, and always prepared. But his latest assignment is anything but routine. Hiding out in a remote cabin with a terrified witness wasn’t part of the plan, and neither was falling for the man he's sworn to protect.

As relentless enemies close in, Morgan and Nik must survive ambushes, deadly terrain, and their growing attraction. But in a world where every step could be their last, will love be their salvation—or their undoing?
