What secrets would you keep to protect the people you love?
Hallie Cross walked away from everything she cared about—her career, her multi-million-dollar company, and the way her heart skipped a beat around her business partner, Lucas Croft. Leaving nearly destroyed her, but she’d witnessed a secret so devastating it would shatter everything Lucas believed about his life. To protect him, her only option was to disappear.
For four years, the plan worked.
Now, Hallie has built a new life at a PR firm while secretly helping keep Croft Power afloat from afar. But one week before Lucas’s massive international expansion, the FBI—and Lucas himself—show up at her door. Someone has unleashed a cyberattack on Croft Power’s servers, locking the entire network behind a $100 million ransom demand. If Lucas doesn’t pay before the launch, the company will collapse.
And the email that planted the virus? It was sent from Hallie’s personal computer.
With the FBI watching her every move, Hallie teams up with Lucas to clear her name, pulling her back into the life and love she left behind. But the closer they come to saving Croft Power, the closer Lucas comes to learning the horrifying truth about why she disappeared in the first place. Now, Hallie must decide: keep her secret and protect Lucas’s happiness—or give him the answers he wants, but lose him forever.
