Birdie isn’t who everyone thinks she is, a shy, smart, loyal intelligence genius. She hides a secret sin that drives her to risk her life over and over again to pay penance for a life she failed to protect.

Bastien was born of a monster. Devastation is in his blood. Determined to beat back the darkness, Bash joins the Navy, hoping the intense training of the SEALs will tame his demons.

The darkness wins out when Bash’s control slips while defending a woman from a bastard officer, costing him his SEAL career.

Picked up by Knot Corp, Bastien resolves to cage his demons once and for all, even if it means locking away his heart from any woman. Especially the quiet intel analyst who bandages his hands after taking out his rage on a tree.

The pair’s dark secrets cross paths one night when Bash has to step in to save Birdie from her vigilante work gone wrong. Startled by Birdie’s suspicious behavior and appearance, Bastien sets out to uncover the secret life Birdie hides.

Soon, they’ll both find out how hard it is to battle three fronts at one time, Birdie’s obsession, Bastien’s fears, and a ghost from Birdie’s past.
