Look, I didn't sign up to be stalked by shadows or dragged into underground labyrinths where the walls breathe danger and secrets whisper your name. But here I am—Tessa O'Hara, a woman with a knack for finding trouble and a talent for running headfirst into it. My plan was simple: gather intel, piece together a puzzle, and get out before anyone noticed. But then Liam—dark, brooding, infuriatingly competent Liam—steps into my world, and suddenly, every rule I live by is out the window. He's got secrets, ones that weigh heavier than the tunnels we're navigating, and a way of looking at me that makes my pulse race for all the wrong reasons. Together, we're plunging deeper into a city's underbelly that doesn't want to let us go. The stakes? A girl who might hold answers, an enemy who won't stop hunting us, and a past I can't outrun. The problem? I'm not sure if Liam is my partner, my enemy, or the most dangerous man I've ever trusted. All I know is that the door we've just opened isn't the end—it's the beginning. And I'm not sure I'll make it out whole.
