SHE HAS THE ANSWERS LOCKED INSIDE.
Autistic. Foster child. Runaway.
Witness to a crime she doesn't remember…
FBI computer analyst and agent Carrie Sparks has had the cards stacked against her almost from the beginning. She's earned her place with the best FBI team in the nation. No one could take that knowledge away from her. No matter how often people underestimate her.
When Agent Sebastian Lorcan shows up on her doorstep, desperate for her help in finding a friend's missing daughter, Carrie puts her own fears aside to help a defenseless child who needs them both.
★ HE PROMISES TO PROTECT HER. ★
Leader of the Complex Crimes Unit Team Three, Sebastian used his position with the FBI to protect the vulnerable. His friend's daughter had no business out there among the wolves of the world. Not at fourteen.
The rest of his team is clear across the country wrapping up another case. Carrie—the best he'd ever seen with the computer—has the skills he needs to find that little girl as quickly as possible.
But while they're searching for Ashleigh, someone else is searching for Carrie. Someone with an agenda going back to the night Carrie's mother and father were brutally murdered.
Someone who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. And what he wants isn't good...
Now they have no choice but to depend on each other, before Carrie pays the ultimate price for keeping a secret she never knew she had...
