Claire Cooper for six years…but the past is about to catch up with her, and nothing will ever be the same.

Kayla's in witness protection, being hidden from her twin sister by the US Marshals Office. When Kayla moves in next to a former Special Forces operative, she discovers that he’s got a dark, dangerous past of his own…and that he might be the only person who can help her survive.

Teige doesn’t want to like Kayla. Since the death of his CO and Teige's retirement from Delta Force, he’s been taking on the most dangerous jobs, pressing the luck he feels has followed him his entire life. He’s convinced it'll run out, because he knows no one can be that lucky all the time. And when he discovers who Kayla really is, and what kind of trouble's following her, he realizes he’s up against the most dangerous—and personal—job of his career.

J
acoby Razwell comes
from a family of gypsies, tramps and thieves…but when he discovers that his sister, Jessica, is a killer, he immediately tries to extricate himself from her. In retaliation, his sister leaves him badly scarred, words of warning carved into his body. He immediately runs to Special Agent Ward Thayer, the man in charge of the unsolved murders that Jacoby knows his sister is behind.

Ward takes him in and puts him under the FBI's protection. But Jacoby wants more, and, after a year of cooperating with the FBI, he insists on entrance to the Academy. Jacoby completes the training at Quantico with flying colors, and soon he's hunting Jessica—and other serial killers—next to Ward. They've become partners at work and partners at home…until Jessica finds a way to tear them apart.

Now, charged with protecting a witness who has his own dangerous secrets to hide, Jacoby and Ward must attempt to bring Jessica to justice at last, all the while knowing that this time they'll have to run toward danger and put their lives—and their relationship—on the line.
