Her Last Hope (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781638270966)

Their first meeting was chaos. Everything after came with consequences.

Nicolaus Sarich doesn't do second chances-at love, at mistakes, at anything. His first assignment with The Aegis Network is supposed to be straightforward: extract the woman walking straight into a trafficking cell. But the moment he pulls her out of the darkness, he realizes he's just blown the cover of a woman who walked in on purpose. And she's not grateful-she's furious.

Leandra Wakefield has spent years chasing missing girls and the monsters who take them. Going undercover was her best shot at finding the latest victim. Now the trafficker knows her face, her mission is burned to ash, and the only person standing between her and a bullet is the soldier who "saved" her.

Thrown into an uneasy partnership neither of them wants, Nick and Leandra are forced to navigate a maze of hidden victims, disappearing clues, and a predator who's always one step ahead. Each new lead drags them deeper into territory where trust is a weapon and hesitation is fatal. Nick keeps trying to push her to safety. Leandra keeps charging toward the danger. Somewhere in the middle, the line between partnership and something far riskier begins to blur.

In the hunt for a ruthless trafficker, trusting each other might be the only thing that keeps them alive.
