Caught, literally, between a long lost love and a madman hell bent on owning her, Jessa is a hacker in hiding, hunted from both sides of the law. As secrets and missing memories slowly surface, not everyone will end up on the same side they started on. HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT THE ONES YOU LOVE? THEN Ten years ago, a covert government operation gone wrong separated Jack from Jessa, the girl he promised he would never leave. NOW Jack's special forces team receives a tip, leading them to a remote farmhouse in search of a group of hackers led by the elusive Zane who work for the same person he holds responsible for Jessa’s death, ten years earlier. Past and present collide as what was once lost is now standing in front of him and appears to be working for the very evil he is trying to end. Now, face-to-face and standing on opposite sides of the law from each other, if they can’t reconcile their differences, they may pay the ultimate price. Years of hiding taught Jessa to trust no one. And left to fend for herself after a violent attack a decade earlier killed her family, she’s resorted to working highly illegal hacking contracts. But when she is captured by the man she thought had vanished, Jessa fears her former ally may have betrayed her. Special Operations Agent Jack never got over the death of the woman he loved while working undercover. Horrified to learn she survived only to endure brutal torture at the hands of a vicious criminal mastermind, he worries he won’t regain her confidence. But with a deadly rival closing in, the determined operative will have to pull out all the stops to protect her from more heartless violence. But is everything as it seems as secrets begin to unravel and pieces are put back in their proper places? And will the last missing piece, the answer to all of their problems, be found in time? ** Chapter 23 contains a trigger warning (capture / torture / assault)
