The wrong move
Six months ago, Jo Calder survived a masquerade gone wrong and fell in love with the man who was supposed to be a threat. Now she has a title, a security clearance, and a partner who'd do anything to keep the danger from ever touching her again.
That's the problem.
Anton Kessler - the man who let his own son take the fall to keep the real network intact - has finally noticed them both. He doesn't threaten with force. He threatens with patience: a knowledge of exactly where Jo works, exactly who Rian used to be, and exactly how much they both stand to lose. One favor, quietly done, and it all disappears.
Refusing costs everything. Agreeing costs Rian the man Jo fell in love with.
Together, they build a case instead of a surrender - pulling in a found family they never expected (a donor-relations coordinator with a spreadsheet brain, a former handler with nothing left to lose, and the crew Rian swore he'd left behind) to take down a man who has never once faced a threat he couldn't outmaneuver from a careful distance.
But Anton didn't build a thirty-year empire by underestimating people.
is Book Two in the Masquerade Series - a story about the difference between protecting someone and trusting them, and about choosing partnership, over and over, even when it would be so much easier not to.
