Blackout Bond

Nora Quinn jams her pulse wrench into the dying officer’s power cuff—and wakes to find herself chained to the very man sent to arrest her. Elias Vane opens his eyes with a shock blade at her throat, but if either of them moves more than thirty feet away, their neural systems crash together. He should drag her straight to Central Enforcement. Instead, the city’s power towers go dark, every clue points to Nora, and Elias is forced to cross the sealed blackout zones with his most wanted suspect pressed against his side. As their hatred turns dangerously intimate, Elias discovers that Nora carries the core key left behind by her missing mother—a key that can restart the city or wipe away everything they remember. Now Nora must choose: surrender the key and lose Elias forever, or expose the conspiracy and let the collapsing city take her sister, her freedom, and possibly both their lives.
