They gave it everything they had. But after the nightmare in China, "normal" was a language neither Jake Muller nor Sherry Birkin knew how to speak. When their attempt at a quiet, domestic life shattered under the weight of their respective trauma and demanding careers, a clean break seemed like the only way to survive each other.
Six months later, the silence is deafening— and deadly.
With the DSO compromised and a shadow syndicate hunting her for the rare, priceless virus in her veins, Sherry realises she is entirely on her own. Cornered, bleeding, and with the wolves at her door, she has only one move left. She pulls out her phone and sends a single, desperate plea into the dark to the only man she trusts to hear her.
