city hacker neon romace spies

In the sprawling, neon-lit metropolis of Neon City, secrets are currency and shadows have eyes. Maya Rivera, a skilled hacker with a troubled past, is determined to bring down the corrupt regime that rules with an iron fist. When her latest mission is thwarted by an enigmatic government agent, Ethan Vale, Maya finds herself caught in a dangerous game she never agreed to play.

Ethan isn't like the others. He knows the city's darkest secrets and has his own reasons for defying the very system he's sworn to protect. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Maya and Ethan must navigate a web of lies, betrayals, and hidden agendas to uncover a conspiracy that reaches deeper than either of them could have imagined.

But in a city where nothing is what it seems, and trust is a luxury they can't afford, they'll have to decide if love is worth the risk - or if their secrets will tear them apart before the truth can set them free.All Rights Reserved
