If You Can

Diligence. Focus. Agility. For Naomi Prescott, it's not just a cute little saying. It's a critical mantra, words to live by if she wants to retain her freedom, and more importantly, her life. Impeccable planning is the only way to ensure she sets off the small flutters that will trigger the big ripple she needs to pull off the score of a lifetime-no matter the stakes. FBI Agent Marcus Calloway is a straight-shooter . . . if you overlook his sometimes unconventional, law-skirting, expensive ways of solving a case. A big arrest would do wonders to restore his reputation, and he has one woman in mind: Jolie Voleuse. Unforeseen circumstances force them into a closer proximity than either-especially Naomi-would like to be. Sparks fly, and as surely as fire ignites, eventually their undeniable chemistry combusts into a passion that neither expected as they join forces in the dangerous pursuit of a common bounty. Contains mature themes.

Secrets always have a way of coming to light. Special Agent Renata Parker learns this the hard way, when the secret she's held close for many years is finally revealed, exposing her as traitor to the team of thieves, spies, hackers, and federal agents who thought they shared a common goal-take down Damien Wolfe. Her dedication to their cause doesn't quite stand up to scrutiny-especially for Quentin, a fellow hacker who was drawn to Renata's quiet energy before her true identity was exposed. With her loyalty in question, Renata finds herself in a position where she's forced to rely on help from the very people she may have unwittingly betrayed. Quentin wants to trust Renata, but repairing their friendship-and possibly taking it further-requires the healing of past wounds, answering unresolved questions, and revealing unknown connections that bring new light to Damien Wolfe's misdeeds. While Quentin and Renata search for common ground, Marcus and Naomi navigate unexpected circumstances in their budding relationship, and Inez tries to resist Kendall's magnetic, dangerous appeal. Romance, danger, a little hacking, and a bit of espionage ensue as the team struggles to be released from the traumas of their past. Contains mature themes.

Deception and betrayal always carry a price, and sooner or later, someone has to pay. For a long time, Terry King and Damien Wolfe have dodged those debts while the people around them paid-in loneliness, grief, constant fear, and the loss of innocent lives. But no more. It's time to settle up, and though the difference between victim and villain isn't always clear, this familiar band of hackers, spies, and federal agents are holding nothing back. Questions are answered, hidden motives are revealed, secrets are brought to light, and this dangerous adventure comes to a conclusion. Partnerships ruined by betrayal. Lovers tested by secrets. Families broken by lies. With everything around them in shambles, which relationships will endure? And when the story comes full circle ... who will come out alive? Contains mature themes.
