Aria Whisper wasn't supposed to see him again. The man from her one-night stand disappeared before she woke up, no name, no trace, and she moved on assuming it would stay that way. What she doesn't know is that the night she spent with him is the beginning of a much bigger problem. Aria works at Serene Solutions as an event planner, trying to keep her life normal while hiding the one fact that could destroy everything: she is a Nox, one of the children created through brutal human engineering experiments. The project was shut down years ago, and as far as the world is concerned, the Nox don't exist. Aria intends to keep it that way. Dominic Bloodthorne lives on the opposite side of the world she knows. As a top field operative for Silent Watch, he handles missions that never make it to the public. His latest assignment is straightforward on paper-protect billionaire Lucas Brave and his eight-year-old daughter, June, during their winery anniversary event. Then the attack happens. Shots are fired, June is nearly taken, and Aria steps into the chaos at the exact moment Dominic is forced to reveal himself. He recognizes her immediately. She has no idea who he is. The aftermath of the incident pulls Aria and Dominic into the same circle of danger. Someone wants Lucas taken out. Someone is targeting June. And someone knows the truth about Aria's existence as a Nox. Aria wants answers about her past. Dominic wants control of the situation before it spirals. Neither of them planned on the connection between them or the consequences of that one night. HEART AT ODDS is a romance-driven sci-fi thriller about a one-night encounter that grows into a collision of secrets, engineered origins, and a bond neither of them expected
