Worse, the stolen car? It belongs to Zef's boss. She gives him a choice: lose his job or catch the criminal. Gray won't be easy to nab. He's got cutting edge implants. He's dangerous, but as Zef gets to know the man with a gilded heart, the greater danger could be falling in love with the crook he's meant to catch.
