The newspapers call him The Renegade-a ruthless fugitive who walks into places no one else can, steals secrets never meant to be uncovered, and disappears before the authorities realize he was ever there. He leaves behind only one thing. A single black rose. The police want him captured. Politicians want him silenced. The country wants him dead but no one knows what turned him into the man they fear.

She tries to forget him, but he has a strange habit of appearing whenever danger finds her-a shadow at the edge of a crowd, a warning that arrives too late, a mystery she can't stop chasing. The closer Mira gets to the man behind the black roses, the harder it becomes to believe the story everyone has told her. Because what if the real danger isn't the criminal everyone is hunting? What if it's the people who taught her who the criminals were? In a city built on secrets, justice comes with a price and falling for The Renegade might be the most dangerous choice she will ever make.
