They’ve survived hell together. Now they have to talk about it.
When a string of brutal murders hits Miami’s exclusive Palmetto Bay Couples Resort, MBLIS agents Ethan Marston and Robbie Holm are sent undercover to stop a killer before the city’s tourist season collapses. Their cover? Newlyweds on a romantic retreat.
Between couples’ workshops, forced vulnerability, and a honeymoon suite neither of them wants to explain later, the two veteran agents discover that pretending to be in love is far more complicated than clearing rooms or trading gunfire. As the body count rises, cracks in their carefully constructed cover begin to mirror cracks they’ve been ignoring in themselves.
Meanwhile, across the city, Lamarr Birn steps into an illegal underground fighting ring to investigate a missing persons case that quickly spirals into something darker. As the violence escalates and the operation reveals ties to human trafficking, Birn is pushed to his limits. His backup, Agent April Bishop, must keep him alive without blowing his cover, forcing both of them to trust growth that hasn’t been tested this way before.
Two operations. Two kinds of performance.
One truth neither can avoid.
Because surviving hell was easy.
Sitting in a circle and talking about feelings might be what finally breaks them.
