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.

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?
