"A relentless cop. A brilliant hacker. An obsession that could destroy them both."
Detective Xavier Cross doesn't stop until he catches his mark-and his latest target, the elusive hacker known only as Ph. S, is no exception. With every daring escape, Ph. S becomes an obsession, the young hacker's cunning mind and infuriating smirks pulling Xavier into a chase he can't afford to lose.
Ph. S is a ghost in the digital world, a genius who thrives on outsmarting anyone who tries to catch him. But even ghosts have their secrets. Alone and on the run, Ph. S hides scars deeper than any database breach, wounds he'll never let anyone see. Until Xavier gets too close.
When their game of cat and mouse collides with forces neither of them can control, the lines between hunter and prey begin to blur.
In a world of lies and betrayal, trusting each other could be the most diangerous move they make.
Dark, steamy, and full of twists, Bound by Shadows is a gripping tale of forbidden desire and secrets that could shatter everything.
