Her brother's murder made her a target. His protection made her whole. Maya Sharma's life shattered the night her brother was killed by the Westside Crew-a ruthless criminal organization that now wants her dead. The evidence she possesses could destroy them, but only if she survives long enough to testify. Enter Arjun Rao: former Marine, coffee shop owner, and a man haunted by his own demons. When Maya stumbles into his life on a rain-soaked Seattle night, he sees a woman drowning in grief-and he can't walk away.
In hiding, they find each other. In danger, they find love. As the Westside Crew closes in and a corrupt cop leaks their every move, Maya and Arjun are forced into a safe house where survival means trusting a stranger. But proximity breeds intimacy, and soon Maya must choose: protect her heart or risk everything for a love born in tragedy.
