One day he was Maya Sterling's best friend-the boy who knew all her secrets, made impossible promises, and swore he would always come back. The next, he was gone. Now, at twenty-one, Maya is one of the most respected agents in the organization that raised her. She's learned to trust no one, depend on no one, and bury the ghosts of her past where they belong. Then Kian returns. Older. Harder. More dangerous than the boy she remembers. And carrying secrets that could destroy everything.

As enemies close in and old wounds reopen, Maya and Kian find themselves trapped between the past they can't escape and a truth someone is willing to kill to keep hidden. Because some secrets were never meant to surface. And some promises refuse to stay buried.
