Vivienne Calloway moved to Paris after a broken heart with one intention, to start over quietly. What she did not plan for was the man across the corridor, Roman Voss, brilliant, guarded, and carrying secrets dangerous enough to get them both killed. She stayed anyway. She decoded his cipher, dismantled the network threatening his life, and chose him at every turn when leaving would have been the sensible thing to do.

Now someone has discovered that the most effective weapon against Roman is not a gun or a courtroom. It is her. A professional operator has been hired to use their love against his testimony, and the people behind it will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.

What nobody knows, not even Vivienne, is that the Italian manuscript sitting on her desk contains a hidden message she has been unknowingly carrying for four months. When she finds it, she uncovers the name of the person behind everything and learns the truth about why she and Roman met at all.

Passionate, intelligent, and relentlessly suspenseful, this is a love story where the danger is real, the heroine is extraordinary, and the truth costs everything.

If you are new to the series, here is what you need to know.

Vivienne is a literary translator who moved into a Paris apartment building in October and discovered that her neighbour across the corridor was at the centre of a major intelligence investigation. Instead of leaving, she stayed. She decoded a classified cipher in six hours. She built an evidence distribution network in an afternoon. She stood in a tree line in the dark in the French countryside and walked back toward the sound of his voice. She is not a woman things happen to. She is a woman who happens to things.

Roman is a former intelligence operative who spent three years alone with the weight of a case that could not be survived alone. He has been finding out, since October, what it feels like to be known by someone who is not going to leave when the knowing gets difficult.

Their love began in danger! It deepened inside it! In this book, it becomes the target! How far can they go?
