She's fifty-eight, brilliant, and absolutely magnificent.
He's the federal agent who could have destroyed her family but chose protection over prosecution. Now she's offering him a job. And he's discovering that wanting her might be the most dangerous thing he's ever done.

When corporate enemies target Paloma for elimination, Marcus faces an impossible choice: follow federal law or protect the woman who's rewriting his definition of love.
He'll sacrifice his career, his reputation, his freedom—everything—to keep her safe.
But Paloma Reyes didn't survive decades in a brutal world by accepting protection. She survived by being more dangerous than her enemies.
Their love could build an empire. Their enemies could destroy them both.
As assassination attempts escalate and federal investigations threaten everything they've built, Marcus and Paloma must decide: trust each other completely, or lose everything that matters.
Some transformations require violence. Others require something far more terrifying.
