As the lead authenticator for a prestigious auction house, Sloane Whitacker possesses a flawless eye for forgeries.

The syndicate CEO hires the most ruthless fixer in the underworld to silence her permanently. Elias operates in the shadows. He executes contracts with cold precision.

He tracks her to an isolated server room with a loaded weapon and a lethal mandate. Then he looks at her, and the rules permanently change. He does not pull the trigger. He takes her instead.

Locked inside his impenetrable mountain fortress, Sloane refuses to play the role of a terrified captive. She turns her analytical mind against her captor, igniting a brutal game of psychological chess. Elias expects a victim. He gets a brilliant opponent who matches his twisted mind step for step. He was hired to erase her. Now he will burn down an entire financial empire to keep her safe.
