She was light. He was darkness. She believed in love. He believed in survival.
When Eleanor Carter, a quiet and innocent artist, meets Neil McCauley, a man of few words and intense eyes, she is drawn to him like a moth to a flame. He is unlike anyone she has ever known-intelligent, enigmatic, and quietly protective. Their connection is instant, electric. She doesn't question his late nights, his guarded nature, or the way danger seems to linger in his shadow.
But Neil McCauley is a man on borrowed time. A career criminal who lives by a strict code: never get attached. Never let anything slow you down. Yet, with Eleanor, he finds himself breaking his own rules. She sees the man beneath the steel exterior, the one who craves something more than just the next score.
As the walls of his double life begin to crumble, Eleanor is forced to face the truth: the man she loves is no ordinary man. He is a thief, a fugitive, a ghost in the night. And soon, the very world he has tried to shield her from will come crashing down around them.
In a game of love and survival, how far will they go before the heat catches up to them?
