Liam

He was sent to arrest her. He decided to save her instead.

Liam Collins, code name Black Falcon, is exactly two days away from walking out of the CIA forever. After a lifetime of high-stakes missions, he’s ready to return to his Cape Cod roots and become the doting uncle to his brothers' children. But his retirement is put on ice when his boss reveals a new target: Sherry Worthing.

Sherry is a quiet librarian in their small hometown—and the girl who fueled Liam's teenage dreams for years. Now, she’s the primary suspect in a treasonous plot involving a dead intelligence dealer and four hundred million dollars in missing Fed accounts.

To protect her from the assassins closing in, Liam is forced to go rogue. He drugs her at the Miami airport to spirit her away to a secluded cabin in the Maine wilderness, knowing that in her eyes, he’s no longer the boy next door—he’s her kidnapper.

Trapped in close proximity as a winter storm rages outside, the cold distance Sherry has kept for a decade begins to melt. But with a tracking device under her skin and a traitor within the CIA, Liam has to decide: can he clear her name and win her heart before the clock runs out on his career—and her life?
