Mara is a brilliant, ruthless tactician willing to burn her own career to the ground to clear his name.
As they navigate a deadly subterranean maze to broadcast the proof of the conspiracy, their forced proximity ignites a fierce, undeniable attraction. But with a public kill order on their heads and the base locking down around them, surviving will require the ultimate sacrifice.
