Voided warranty or no, Monica Sable wishes she
had given her iPhone a bath in the Hudson. Replacing it would have cost less. A
lot less. Instead, she gave the technological marvel with the recorded clandestine
conversation between infamous mob boss, Laven Michaels, and his heinous
henchmen, Tyron Erebus, to the authorities.
But no good deed goes unpunished.
By doing the “right thing,” Monica finds herself
a bauble in the FBI Witness Protection program and keystone of their flummoxed
case to crush the mobster and dismantle his empire. The soulless
automatons-turned-agents babysit the star witness who’s molding away as Laven’s
trial overshadows her future. Perhaps death by Erebus’s knife would be an improvement
after all?
Sam Bradford, former Marine and expert at
finding the unfindable, is visible to all but seen by none. Living on the
fringe of society, Sam continues serving his country as an officer of The
Agency and maestro of their 122 Rules of Psychology. Unparalleled in these
edicts, he strums the chords of emotion, convincing others to do anything he
desires and reveal their most intimate secrets.
A master in the dual roles of hunter and suitor,
Sam is assigned to track Monica down and seduce her into trusting him. And
trust him she does...at least until he mysteriously disappears, further
blurring the line between friend and foe.
Eluding an assassination attempt by an unknown
assailant--Tyron? Laven? Sam? Someone else?--Monica decides her safety is her
own responsibility and escapes the FBI’s clutches, taking to the road with her
snarky best friend of less-than-average intelligence. The two fumble their way
across the country, hoping to reach safety, while those that wish to destroy
her froth like a bloodhounds at their heels.
Monica’s only goal: bring down those that mean
to do her harm…if she lives that long.
