Life has run Rylee Jones over like a tank, and Fate seems determined to crash a Secret Service agent into the mess.
Rylee Jones can manage international disaster response with precision and nerve as co-director of operations for WorldCares. What she cannot manage is a medical system that keeps dismissing her escalating symptoms as stress. While holding her organization together under relentless pressure, Rylee is fighting a quieter battle to be believed. Special Agent in Charge Dakota Kayne is a Secret Service agent and former Naval special forces operator tracking counterfeiters with his K9 partner, Tank. When the investigation points straight at WorldCares, the mission threatens donor trust, organizational survival, and lives in disaster zones. Rylee and Dakota keep orbiting each other without quite colliding, as if one unseen hand keeps nudging him forward while another politely steers her away. In earthquake-ravaged Turkey, the stakes escalate fast. As danger mounts, can two people with impossible missions make room for something real, or will timing keep them circling forever? A slow-burn, closed-door, action adventure featuring elite operators, a brilliant working K9, found family, and high-stakes action. Perfect for those who love the Iniquus world, where love is earned, timing is everything, and unseen forces refuse to stay out of the way.
