He had the perfect cover.

Until she walked in.

Hightower's forgery specialist, Adena Graceson, can counterfeit anything?currency, IDs, entire identities. But when an uneasy alliance with the DEA drags her into New Orleans's seedy underbelly, faking a romance with a volatile agent might be her deadliest forgery yet.

Her life is in his hands.

His soul is at stake.

Jagger Rourke lives by two rules: stay cold and stay alive. His existence is a structure of precarious lies, but after three years, his cover is burning. And the partner he never wanted is a fiery wild card. One mistake won't just shred the operation?it'll be the dirt over both their graves.

Trust no one.

Love no one.

Break the rules and die.
