Sparks fly when Ronan and Arkady cross paths and stumble upon a kidnapping in progress. What starts as a rescue turns into a deadly mystery that sends them on a chase from the city's most depraved depths to its grandest penthouses. When their shared addiction to danger sets them against a powerful enemy, Ronan and Arkady realize their only hope of survival is each other, but a devastating secret might spell doom for them both . . .
