Ticking time ~Malachi Barton~
33 parts Complete Mature-🕷️⭐️-
Iris Witherglow looks like any other 18-year-old in New York City. Cute, a little edgy, blending in with the crowd. But behind the cover, she's Nyx-a junior agent of Spectra Division, one of the government's most elite covert units.
Her latest mission? Retrieve a priceless necklace holding codes that could destroy nations if they fall into the wrong hands. Easy. Until the operation goes sideways, and Iris makes the one mistake Spectra agents never make.
She hides the necklace with the wrong person.
Now it's in the possession of Malachi Barton-a rising teen star in the city filming a movie, who has no idea the fate of global security is stuffed in his backpack. Assigned to get close, track him down, and take back what she lost, Iris finds herself caught between two worlds: the deadly precision of Spectra, and the messy, unexpected pull of someone who should have stayed a stranger.
Romance, lies, and danger collide as Iris fights to keep her secrets buried, protect her mission, and resist the boy who's unknowingly carrying the key to everything.
Some lies keep you alive.
Others could ruin everything.
