When audio analyst Lina Ortega hears the same hidden pattern in three emergency calls, she knows the recordings are connected-and that someone inside her company wants the connection buried.
Roman Vale has turned control into a profession. He is also the last man Lina should trust: a security contractor who knows her routines because he watched them without permission. When the threat reaches her home, his glass-walled safehouse offers protection at a cost neither can ignore.
As Lina turns a missing woman's warning into evidence, she and Roman are forced into a dangerous intimacy built on rules, consent, and truths he can no longer manage for her. The conspiracy closing around them reaches from corrupted audio to the people assigned to protect it. To survive, Lina must make herself heard-and Roman must learn that love cannot be another form of surveillance.
A dark, emotionally intense romantic suspense about chosen access, hard-won trust, and a love that earns its way to safety.
