THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE KIDNAPPING A MOUSE. THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THEY HAD CAGED THE ARCHITECT.
I spent three years becoming invisible. To the world, I'm just Zea Allen-the quiet, boring accountant for Warwick Long, the most dangerous crime lord in the Pacific Northwest. I balance his books, I ignore the blood on the money, and I plan my escape.
I was three days away from disappearing forever. Then the van door slid open, and a bag went over my head.
Now I'm chained in the basement of a cabin in the middle of nowhere, at the mercy of the Night Hunt-a blackened-ops mercenary unit that doesn't exist on paper. They want to use me as leverage to destroy my boss. They think I'm a terrified civilian they can break.
They are dead wrong.
SCOTT is the Commander. A mountain of scarred muscle and regret who looks at me like I'm a bomb waiting to detonate. He wants to protect his team, but he can't stop looking at my mouth.
MAXWELL is the Brains. A cold, analytical hacker who treats me like a puzzle he's desperate to solve. He knows I'm lying about who I am, and he's obsessed with stripping away my layers until he finds the truth.
FORREST is the Heart. The "good cop" with the golden retriever energy and the sniper's aim. He brings me soup, tends to my wounds, and makes me want things a prisoner shouldn't want.
They think they are my captors. They think they hold the leash. But I didn't survive my family's murder just to be a pawn in their war. I have a shadow ledger that can burn the world down, and I have a plan.
I'm not trapped in here with them. They're trapped in here with me. And when the truth comes out, they won't just let me go. They'll kneel.
