Some men chase justice. He became it.

Michael Creed is more than a billionaire, more than a tech genius with ties to a top-secret security agency. To the world, he’s untouchable. But in the shadows, he’s a ghost  hunting the darkest kind of evil: human traffickers. Every takedown is personal. Every mission a reckoning. Because one mistake cost him everything... including his twin sister, Michelle.

Then came Naomi Cross.

Silent strength cloaked in vulnerability, Naomi has spent her life living with scars no one can see. Neglected, underestimated, and pushed aside, she’s learned to survive without trust. But when a past she thought buried resurfaces, she’s thrust into Michael’s world one of secrets, danger, and obsession.

He was never supposed to care.
She was never supposed to matter.
But the closer he gets, the more he sees her not as a complication, but as a woman worth risking it all for.

In a world where darkness rules, Michael must decide if she’s a distraction…
Or the one thing that could bring him peace.
