Enter Kim Secretan, a man as charming as he is mysterious, who offers help but whose true intentions are far from clear. This book delivers a thrilling ride, feeling very much like a classic pulp adventure with its quick pacing, sharp dialogue, and layers of secrets. The romance between Will and Kim is a slow, simmering burn, developing amidst the high-stakes intrigue and betrayals.
