The Devil You Knew

"I don't know what happened, Michael. There was no practical reason for it... I just looked at Sloane, and it felt like I was supposed to do it. It felt like I was supposed to shield her."

For a diagnosed psychopath like Adina Rus, survival is a matter of pure calculation. Reborn under the fake identity of Renata Varga, she joined the FBI to erase her bloodstained history as an Eastern European mercenary. She wanted a quiet life. She didn't want partners, she didn't want complications, and she certainly didn't expect the Naturals.

Surrounded by a team that can read every lie, predict every pattern, and feel every emotion, Renata's mask begins to slip. Especially around Michael Townsend, the hyper-empath who calls her "Romani" and systematically rewrites her history with a single touch. But a ghost from her childhood refuses to let her move on. Lucian Drăghici is a completely unspooled killer driven by a single, terrifying fixation. He is killing his way to her front door, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.
