A standalone dark mafia romance where a wrongly convicted hacker heroine meets her match — an obsessed, neurodivergent tech genius who’s been watching her for two years.

I went to prison for a crime I didn’t commit.
Fourteen months behind bars because I trusted the wrong man. When I got out, I swore I’d never make that mistake again.
Then a Russian gangster turned my brother Sal into leverage and gave me a choice: hack for him, or watch Sal pay the price.
So I became a ghost. The best in the city. Untraceable. Untouchable. Invisible.
Until I broke into the wrong network and discovered someone had already been inside mine.
His name is Wolfe Molloy. He’s the tech genius behind Boston’s most powerful Irish crime family. He’s quiet, intense, and brutally intelligent. He doesn’t do small talk. He doesn’t do charm. He eats cereal for dinner and forgets to sleep and his brain never, ever shuts off.

Except when he’s near me.
There’s just one problem.

He’s been watching me for two years. He knows my real name, my aliases, my conviction, and every move I’ve made since I walked out of that prison. He says he wants to protect me and my brother. He says he needs my skills to take down the man who controls my life.
What he’s not saying is what scares me.
Because Wolfe Molloy is hiding something. A secret about my past that could set me free or shatter every reason I have to trust him.
The closer I get, the harder he is to resist. He touches me like I’m something precious. He stands between me and every threat like his body is a wall he built just for me. He looks at me like I’m the only thing in this world his mind can’t take apart and put back together.
And when the truth comes out — when I find out what he’s been keeping from me — I’ll have to decide if the man who buried my freedom is the same man who’d bleed to protect it.

Because in this world, love isn’t just dangerous.
It’s the one thing neither of us knows how to survive.
