I was sent to infiltrate. Map the walls. Count the weapons. Sabotage the generator on the night everything would burn.
All to save my little sister from the man holding her hostage.
I wasn't supposed to care about the children I'd be teaching, or the community that fed me when I was starving, or the woman in the clinic who made me laugh for the first time in months.
And I definitely wasn't supposed to fall for him.
Beckett — the enforcer with tattooed knuckles, loaded silence, and hands that trembled the first time he touched me. The man who carved wooden horses for children and interrogated spies without flinching. The man whose trust I was going to shatter.
He watches me like he already knows I'm lying.
And the worst part?
He's right.
When the truth comes out — and it will — I'll lose everything. Including him.
Especially him.
Genre: Science Fiction
