A country in peril. Two broken hearts. One brutal lie.

Having been betrayed in the worst way possible, Eve Wells doesn’t find trust easy to give. But if there’s one person she can trust with everything, it’s her OZ partner, Gideon Wright. He is her one true confidant and knows everything about her. They would never lie to each other. When disaster strikes, her body isn’t the only thing broken. The truth is revealed, and she’s devastated to learn everything she believed about him was a lie. For over a decade, Gideon has been living on borrowed time. He had known that once Eve discovered the truth, nothing would ever be the same. But he had made an oath, one he would die before he would betray. He never planned on falling in love with her. She was his to protect but not to love. They couldn’t be together, not in the way he wanted. Now that everything’s out in the open, they must forge a new path. Mending Eve’s broken heart won’t be easy, but he won’t give up. He’ll do whatever it takes to earn back her trust. Something wicked is headed their way. Something neither of them could have anticipated. If they fight separately, they will lose. If they join together, they’ll win, but the aftermath could eviscerate all they had before.

Some things are worth fighting for, and some things are worth dying for. After all the heartbreak and deception, Eve and Gideon must find that one true thing that’s worth living for before it’s too late.
