About the Book

Talia believes she’s helping save lives online—exposing traffickers and dismantling monstrous networks from the safety of anonymity—but the truth is much darker. When she falls into a claustrophobic relationship with Leo, a long-haul trucker hiding a past as a professional killer, her story starts to unravel. By the time the truth comes out, Talia has crossed a line she can’t uncross—leaving two men who want her forced to decide whether to stop her, save her, or follow her into the dark.
