Chrome Hearts on Borrowed Time

Mara Vey drags a bleeding stranger from a burning prison convoy—and freezes when he wakes with her dead mother’s secret passcode on his lips. Then the military core in his chest starts counting down. The entire city wants Kade Rourke dead, and the corporation hunting him has just bought the contract enslaving Mara’s little brother. She should sell Kade for his bounty, but every time danger closes in, the amnesiac killer puts his body between hers and the blade. To break into the corporation’s upper-city gala, they must pose as lovers—while Kade’s touch tears through every defense she has left. When the countdown reaches zero, will Mara surrender Kade’s heart to save her brother—or expose the conspiracy that killed her mother and burn the whole city down with him?
