In a decaying city where magic is illegal, Vance is a skilled thief and master of illusions, living a life on the edge. Haunted by a traumatic past, he uses his abilities to survive, all while keeping his heart locked away. His life takes a turn when he crosses paths with Adrian, a powerful enforcer for a corrupt regime, known for his ruthless methods and a dark charm that draws Vance in.

Adrian is on a mission to hunt down magic users, but when he captures Vance during a heist, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the thief's defiance and vulnerability. Instead of turning him in, Adrian proposes an alliance: Vance will help him infiltrate a secret society of magic users in exchange for protection from the regime.

As they navigate dangerous missions and face the dark underbelly of their city, the chemistry between them intensifies. But secrets threaten to unravel their fragile bond, forcing Vance to confront his trauma and Adrian to question his loyalties. In a world where trust is scarce and betrayal lurks around every corner, they must decide if love is worth risking everything-even their lives.All Rights Reserved

Their only option is to send Reid's partner back in to hunt the mole inside of the agency, while Reid and Nate go off the grid and hit the road together. They're constantly on the move, fighting both Nate's fearsome family and their growing attraction to one another. The Angelev specter of danger is ever-looming, leading to numerous close calls and showdowns, with the stakes climbing even higher after Reid and Nate give in to their fierce passion for one another.
