Jack “Crusher” Bailey doesn’t need guns when his hands are deadlier than most arsenals. But even he isn’t prepared for what he finds when sent to infiltrate a bioterror compound—Dr. Marta Hale, bruised, brilliant, and refusing to be the key to the plague her captors want her to finish.With the cartel hunting them across continents, Crusher must protect the woman whose intellect could wipe out millions—or save them. Forced into close quarters and tighter-than-safe proximity, their escape becomes a race against time, betraya
Rourke “Rogue” Logan has hunted killers across the globe, but none as slippery as the shadow assassin known only by the call sign “Onyx.” Rumored to be operating inside a powerful Texas organization and linked to a recent high-profile killing, Onyx has become a ghost the government desperately wants erased.
When intel comes in from a trusted former agency contact, Royce assigns Rogue a single mission: track down Onyx and eliminate the threat—clean and quiet.
But the closer Rogue gets, the more the pieces don’t fit. Onyx leaves no signature, no motive, no trail that matches an assassin for hire. And when Rogue finally corners the target in a remote corner of the Texas Hill Country, he discovers the truth that blows the mission apart—
Onyx isn’t the ruthless killer he was sent to destroy. Onyx is a woman on the run…running from the real monster.
Now Rogue must decide who the true enemy is—and why someone with power is desperate to see Onyx dead. One thing is certain: the line between hunter and protector is about to disappear, and Rogue may lose more than just the mission.
He may lose his heart to the woman he was ordered to kill.
l, and a viral clock that’s already begun to tick.
