Lena Voss spent five years making herself small enough not to be noticed — quiet accountant, quiet apartment, quiet life. Then she found the numbers that didn't add up inside Kade Development, and quiet stopped being an option. Now she's a federal witness with a target on her back, relocated to a lake town she's never heard of, handed off to a man who looks at her like she's already guilty of something.

Rhys Kessler doesn't do favors for the Marshals. He does them for the club, for the town, for the ghost of a sister the Kade name buried under a pile of paperwork and a settlement check. So when they ask him to hide the woman who signed those very papers, every instinct he has says walk away. Instead he gives her the loft above his garage, one bed, one door he can watch, and a promise to himself that he won't feel a single thing for her.

He breaks that promise by the second week.

Because Lena isn't what he expected — she's furious in the same quiet way he is, carrying guilt like a second skin, and she wants the truth about what Kade did as badly as he does. The closer they get, the more the danger closes in behind her: a fixer who doesn't miss, a mole feeding her location to the enemy, and a trial date that might get her killed before she ever takes the stand. Rhys has spent his whole life keeping people at arm's length so he can't lose them. Lena has spent hers believing no one stays. Neither of them planned on wanting to break their own rules for each other — and neither of them planned on how far Rhys would go to make sure she lives long enough to try.
