The Warden's Unwanted Witness

The execution blade is at Evelyn Voss’s throat when she reveals the memory chip containing Lucas Vale’s missing sister’s final testimony. The warden sent to condemn her stops the sentence—but only because she may be the one person who can prove his sister was murdered. Now the city’s most wanted terrorist is bound to the cold man who once arrested her, under a temporary protection deal that gives her one heartbeat of freedom and him one chance at the truth. Every recovered testimony exposes a deeper conspiracy—and the impossible chemistry between them makes trusting each other more dangerous than any assassin. But Evelyn is also the presumed-dead heiress whose stolen identity could bring the entire city’s power structure crashing down. When the evidence reveals Lucas’s own commander ordered the murders, will he protect Evelyn and destroy his family—or hand her back to the executioner to save himself?
