Layla’s composure falters under the weight of rising danger ''' and the pull she feels toward the one man she feels like she can't help but trust. Declan’s charm slips as old pain resurfaces, revealing the depth of the scars he’s fought to bury.
As the threat closes in, the connection between them becomes impossible to ignore — fierce, unexpected, and terrifyingly real. And the more they rely on each other, the more they realize that survival isn’t just about outsmarting a predator.
It’s about risking their hearts… and trusting the one person who sees past the façade.
