Encrypted Hearts

Lara "Cipher" Reid is a freelance hacker with a moral compass who exposes corporate rot while leaving no digital footprint. But her latest hit, a breach of a supposedly "unhackable" private server, has placed her directly in the crosshairs of the city's most dangerous man.Kai Sterling, the cold and calculating architect of the Sterling Syndicate, treats the city like a chessboard where he is the undisputed king. Driven by a rare obsession to find the one person who outsmarted him, Kai draws Lara into a web of power and betrayal. As their worlds collide, they must decide if they are enemies, pawns, or the only two people capable of truly seeing one another behind the encryption.
