What happens when a dead man falls for the woman who can destroy everything he's built? <p/>NADIA
I've spent fourteen years hunting ghosts.
My father was murdered when I was sixteen. The police called it a robbery gone wrong. I called it a lie. Every case I've taken since then has been practice-learning to read people, to find what's hidden, to drag the truth into the light.
>Griffin Mercer says he can protect me. He's dangerous, secretive, and looks at me like I'm either his salvation or his destruction. His touch sets my skin on fire. His secrets could get us both killed.
I don't trust him. I don't even know if he's telling me his real name.
But God help me, I can't stay away. <p/>
GRIFFIN
I died three years ago.
They murdered my family on Christmas Day-my mother, my father, my baby sister. Shot them while I was overseas, unable to save them. So I let the world bury Griffin Mercer and became someone else. Someone cold. Someone with nothing left to lose.
>Then Nadia Cole walked into my mission like a wrecking ball wrapped in curves and attitude. She's stubborn, brilliant, and sees through every lie I tell. She makes me remember what it felt like to be alive.
She's a liability. A distraction. A weakness I can't afford.
She's also the only thing I want to survive for. <p/>From Savannah's sultry nights to Vienna's deadly secrets... <p/>Some lies are worth dying for. Some truths are worth killing for. <p/>And some love burns hot enough to raise the dead.
