He’s a jaded spy. She’s a brilliant linguist. Together, they’ll face a storm of bullets and desire.

Dr. Rebecca “Becks” Ashworth has a gift for languages that few can rival. As an Oxford linguistics professor and freelance translator for the world’s top intelligence agencies, she’s accustomed to solving puzzles. But when she deciphers a fragment of a message in an obscure dialect, a message hinting at a catastrophic terrorist plot, she becomes a target herself.
Liam O’Shea, a disillusioned MI6 operative, now working for Cerberus, thinks his latest assignment is routine: protect linguistics professor Becks Ashworth, whose code-breaking skills have made her a target. He’s unprepared for the brilliant and headstrong woman who challenges his every move, he finds himself stirred by emotions he’s long kept buried.

Time is running out. The attack is imminent. Liam and Becks must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for duty, truth, and a chance at love.
