She boarded the Orient Express to honor a final promise. She never expected to become the prime suspect in a terrorist plot.
Mara Ellington's journey across Europe was meant to be a tribute-one last wish fulfilled. But before the train even leaves the station, a moment of chaos changes everything.
Now, she's carrying something she never agreed to... and doesn't understand.
As the train speeds from city to city, a series of coordinated attacks begins to unfold. Authorities are searching for a courier-someone unknowingly transporting a critical piece of a larger conspiracy.
Someone like Mara.
Agent Drake Steinfield is methodical, relentless, and used to trusting the evidence above all else. And the evidence points to her. She doesn't fit the profile. She doesn't behave like a conspirator.
But the facts don't lie.
Forced into close proximity as danger escalates at every stop, suspicion gives way to something far more complicated. Because the more Drake watches Mara, the harder it becomes to believe she's guilty.
And the more Mara senses his doubt, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
On a train where nothing is what it seems, innocence may be the perfect cover... -or the one thing that gets them both killed.
Perfect for readers who love fast-paced romantic suspense, international intrigue, and high-stakes tension with emotional depth.
