About This Book
When a covert operative goes dark and his own government marks him for elimination, the worst part isn't the danger — it's that the people he trusts most aren't sure he deserves saving. Rock Babineaux is a man built for impossible situations, but being hunted while carrying secrets he can't explain puts everything on the line. The one person who refuses to abandon him is Vanessa Cordova, a woman sharp enough to read guilt from innocence and stubborn enough to act on it. What unfolds is a high-octane story about trust stretched to its breaking point, buried feelings finally forced into the open, and two people running out of time to be honest with each other.
Walker writes romantic suspense with real momentum — scenes cut fast, tension layers cleanly, and the romance never feels like a detour from the action. The Cajun heat between Rock and Vanessa crackles through their banter and silences in equal measure. As the fourth book in the Black Knights Inc. series, it delivers all the camaraderie and insider texture that fans of the series expect, while giving new readers enough grounding to jump in without feeling lost.
