In a city built on secrets, the only thing more dangerous than the truth is the person who hides it. Elena Vance is the mob’s best-kept secret. As a forensic accountant for the Vallo Syndicate, she makes millions disappear with a single keystroke. But when she meets Julian Cross, a detective with a haunted past and a lethal instinct for the truth, her carefully calculated world begins to fracture. Julian is hunting a ghost. Elena is running from one. When they find themselves caught in a lethal frame-job, they have no choice but to trust each other. From the rain-slicked streets of Oakhaven to the isolated ridges of the Appalachian mountains, they must fight to stay alive long enough to balance the ledger. But in a game where everyone has a price, can love be the only thing that doesn't belong on a spreadsheet?
