Five years after losing Falynn Rowe, Maverick "Ruger" Ruger still carries an undying love for her and an unshakable loyalty to her father, Darius. So when California Governor Greg Garcelli orders Ruger to eliminate Darius, Ruger is forced to choose between the powerful man pulling his strings and the family he has never truly stopped protecting.
Falynn has spent years building a life and empire without Ruger, but his return comes just as Garcelli begins using politics, surveillance, and violence to tear apart everything the Rowes have built. Working beside Ruger means reopening wounds she never fully healed-and trusting the man who once broke her heart.
As Garcelli tightens his grip on Los Angeles, Ruger and Falynn must confront the love, betrayal, and loyalty still binding them together. Because in a city where politicians move like mob bosses, protecting the Rowe legacy may require them to become more dangerous than the man running it all.
