Brooklyn Adler is a retrieval expert specializing in the return of stolen treasures to their rightful owners. She’s the darling of large insurance companies around the world and the bane of local and international law enforcement agencies. Walking the fine line between hero and thief was always the perfect fix for the pint-sized adrenaline junkie, but after years of working twenty-four seven, she’s tired. Burning the candle at both ends for weeks, Brooklyn resolves to push through one more big money retrieval before taking the break she’d been promising herself for far too long. With the ancient Egyptian amulet tucked safely in her pocket, Brooklyn is on her way out of Emilio Mendoza’s compound when all hell breaks loose—luckily, she’d inadvertently called in the Calvary. Her soul had reached out to the one man who could hear all she’d never been able to say. Luke Grayson fell in love with Brooklyn Adler their freshman year at MIT. They’d become best friends and she’d consistently refused his advances because she hadn’t wanted to risk ruining their friendship. As an empath he’d always known how she really felt, but over the last few months he’s sensed the shift in her thinking and knew the time for waiting was over. Their connection, strong enough he could feel her exhaustion layered beneath her determination to finish one last retrieval, was what had summoned him to the east coast. When things go to hell, he’s waiting in the wings to whisk her away from the small island, but can he keep her safe long enough to prove how perfect they could be together? Or has she finally made an enemy strong enough to pull her into the depths of hell with him?
