Book Overview
Gael Peterson has spent years hiding behind the enhanced abilities he wears like a mask. To the outside world, he's confident, controlled-an elite agent in the FBI's exclusive H.E.R.O. team.
But beneath the surface? Scars. Secrets. And a past that still owns him.
Abandoned by his mother. Broken by his father's fists. Gael has learned the hard way that trust is a weakness he can't afford. So when he's assigned a new partner-Jake, stubbornly human and dangerously perceptive-Gael keeps his walls firmly in place.
Because in a world where the enhanced are feared, hunted, and labeled monsters, trusting anyone can get you killed.
And this case? It's already spiraling.
A vulnerable, nonspeaking enhanced child stands accused of murder.
Tensions are rising. Loyalties are fracturing.
And somewhere in the chaos, a serial killer is targeting the enhanced... one victim at a time.
When that killer turns his attention to Gael, the lines between partner and protector begin to blur.
Because surviving this case will mean more than facing the enemy.
It will mean trusting Jake with the truth Gael has spent his entire life hiding.
And worse-
trusting him enough to fall in love.
Because if Gael lets Jake in, really lets him in, there's no turning back.
And this time?
Trust might not just break him. It might get him killed.
