With one glaring exception. Wylie.Ever since the mountain man started working at Helios a decade ago – Wylie has provoked her. His unknowable, unfindable first name, his refusal to admit he has a past, and the lack of even one accidental physical touch between them. Then, after a small yet seismic shift between them – Wylie has the gall to vanish – promising Toni will never find him. She proves him wrong and it almost costs him his life. Now, as the clock runs out and they search for answers to keep the past from unraveling their future – Toni has to keep Wylie safe as they try to outwit a tangle of enemies – and each other.
