About the Book:

Hunted. Enhanced. Unstoppable.

Valentia Jayne Phoenix was never meant to be extraordinary. After a rogue scientist injected her with experimental nanites, her life shattered, forcing her into a world of shadows. Now a technopath who can interface with and manipulate any digital system, she is the most valuable—and vulnerable—fugitive in existence.

Her hunters are known as "The Suits," a covert, off-the-books agency relentlessly pursuing her, viewing her as nothing more than an experiment to be dissected.

Enter Tyler "Wolf" Howell, a decorated Navy SEAL Commander. He was given a clear objective: a kill order. But when his mission collides with her high-stakes survival, Wolf quickly realizes the terrifying truth: the Agency is manipulating him, and the woman he was sent to neutralize is the only person he can’t walk away from.

Survival forces a dangerous alliance. With the agency closing in and her extraordinary powers accelerating, Wolf must risk his career, his life, and his carefully guarded heart to protect her.

The chase is over. The real fight for freedom—and for a life they were never meant to have—begins now.
