Aegis was created with the intention to protect. Now, it might just have the ability to destroy everything we've built.
Arden Locke is the founder and CEO of her company Aegis Security, creating the most advanced and secure system yet-a system she trusts with no one but herself. In the right hands, it could do an incredible amount of good. But in the wrong hands? It could tear down a government and bring an entire nation to its knees.
Owen Bennett is the picture-perfect FBI agent. He is kind, empathetic, and by the books with each move he makes. His flaw? He won't let the people around him get hurt, no matter the consequences.
Arden knows her code's dangers and will do anything to protect it. Owen understands the danger Arden is in and will do anything to protect her. But on the other side, enemies inside and out would do anything to get a hold of Arden and the code. The question is, who will cave first?
With enemies on all sides and nowhere left to run, Arden and Owen are forced into a high-stakes game of deception, where trust is dangerous, betrayal is inevitable, and the line between duty and something far more complicated begins to blur.
The clock is ticking. The chase is on. And the cost of losing? Unthinkable.

Crimson Desires
"You think you've got me all figured out, don't you?" I say, my tone sharp as I glare up at him. Archer's lips curve into a faint smirk. "I don't need to figure you out. I already know your type." "Oh, do you?" I step closer, challenging him. "Enlighten me." His eyes darken as he leans down, his voice husky. "Reckless. Self-destructive. You'd run into flames just to prove you don't burn." "And you're the hero who thinks he can save me?" I shoot back, fists clenching. "No," he says evenly, his gaze boring into mine. "I'm the one who'll let you burn." *** When you've hit rock bottom, there's nowhere to go but up...or so they say. For Erin Carter, rock bottom looks like a past she can't escape and a future that seems impossible. Pulled from her prison sentence by a government agency, Erin's given the chance to prove she's more than her rocky past.

As one of the agency's top operatives, his life revolves around order and precision- two things that go out the window when Erin is thrown into his world. With a shared history he'd rather forget and a mission that could destroy them both, Archer is forced to confront the one thing he can't control: her.
