What happens when your perfect life becomes your worst nightmare?
Victoria Sterling has it all - a thriving real estate career, a loving marriage, and a beautiful home in Seattle. But when she agrees to show a luxury property to a mysterious client named Elena Vasquez, her world is shattered in an instant. What should have been a routine house showing becomes a deadly trap, and Tori finds herself kidnapped by someone with connections to her husband's carefully hidden past. Marcus Sterling built his successful development company on a foundation of lies. For five years, he's been the perfect husband, the respected businessman, the man who left his shadows behind. But Marcus Sterling isn't his real name, and his past as "Phoenix" - one of the CIA's most lethal operatives - is about to catch up with him in the most devastating way possible.
When the woman he loves disappears, Marcus must become the killer he used to be.
The trail leads to Viktor Kozlov, a Russian crime boss with a twenty-year-old grudge and an unquenchable thirst for revenge. But the biggest shock comes when Marcus discovers the identity of Tori's kidnapper - Elena, the young woman who was supposed to be his daughter, raised from childhood to be the perfect weapon against him.
In a deadly game where family becomes the enemy and trust is a luxury he can't afford, Marcus faces an impossible choice: save his wife or save his daughter.
As the truth about his past unravels, Marcus must confront the sins that have followed him across continents and decades. With time running out and Viktor's endgame finally revealed, he'll need every skill he learned as Phoenix to navigate a web of betrayal, manipulation, and violence that threatens to destroy everyone he loves.
But some shadows are too dark to escape, and some truths are too dangerous to survive.
