Asmund Ankurson, a 23-year-old bounty hunter, lives a solitary life shaped by precision, secrecy, and an unyielding sense of duty. Following in the shadow of his late father-a celebrated FBI agent who died in the line of duty-Asmund is dedicated to his craft and fiercely protective of his younger sister. But his latest assignment threatens to unravel everything he's worked to protect.
His target: Solace Kristianson, a brilliant 20-year-old medical student who seems to have it all-intelligence, charm, and the respect of everyone around her. Solace has always valued her independence, unaware that she's become the focus of dangerous forces that want to exploit her.
When Asmund's surveillance turns into a life-or-death moment during a shocking assassination attempt and bombing, instinct takes over, and he saves Solace instead of capturing her. Now, he's caught between his mission and a growing attraction he can't ignore.
As the lines blur between hunter and protector, Asmund must decide: Can he turn her over to the shadowy organization that hired him, or will his desire for Solace jeopardize them both? And what happens if she discovers the truth about who he really is?
