He broke her heart.
Graysenâs betrayal nearly destroyed Isa a year ago. Now that sheâs working for Red Stone Security, sheâs managed to piece her life back together after a rough year and a broken heart. Then he appears back in her life and makes it clear heâs not going anywhere until she gives them a second chance. A chance she refuses to take.
Now heâs back to claim whatâs his.
Graysenâs never gotten over Isa and he knows he never will. Itâs his fault she walked away, but he canât seem to let her go. He quit his job with the CIA and called in every favor he had to get hired by Red Stone Security just to be near her again. But Isa doesnât care that heâs desperate to make things right between themâshe wants nothing to do with him. He doesnât blame her, but heâs not willing to give her up. When theyâre cornered by lethal terrorists, everything changes. Graysen and Isa will have to find a way to work together if they want to survive. Only then will he be able to convince her to claim the chance at happiness the past stole from them.

âDonât give me that look,â Graysen snarled as he slid into the seat across from Harrison. Heâd been waiting for that CEO to leave.
Harrison had started to respond when the bartender whoâd been serving Graysen earlier approached the table. âYou leaving the bar?â
âYeah, joining a friend.â He tried not to snarl at her, since she was just doing her job. âIâll close out my tab.â He pulled out a few bills and left them on the table. âKeep the change.â
Her eyes widened slightly but she just nodded and pocketed the moneyâthen not so subtly left a piece of paper with her phone number on it in its place. âI get off in an hour.â
He didnât respond as she left, but crumpled the paper up once he was sure she wasnât looking and tossed it into the empty ice bucket. He didnât want anyone but Isa.
âWhat were you thinking, showing up here?â Harrisonâs voice was razor sharp.
âI had to see her.â Graysen knew heâd be meeting with Isa tomorrow, but the urge to get just a glimpse of her again in person was too much. The woman was his obsession. After a year of no contact, no hearing her voice, he was at his breaking point.
Harrison scrubbed a hand over his face, the action out of place on the normally stoic man. âSheâs going to be pissed tomorrow.â
âSheâll get over it.â Isa had to. She had to forgive him. He couldnât live with anything less. He wouldnât. âAnd Iâm bringing you a huge job.â Graysen had gone to Keith Caldwell instead of Harrison, asking Harrisonâs fatherâalso the founder of Red Stone Securityâto hire him now that heâd left the Agency. He was more than qualified, but he didnât just want a job. He wanted to specifically work with Isa. So heâd brought an exclusive government contract Red Stone wouldnât want to turn down. It was practically tailored for Isaâs expertise. If she was forced to work with Graysen, he could remind her how good theyâd been together. And he could work on getting her to forgive him. WhichâĤwas the biggest problem.
âYeah, and you never let me forget it,â Harrison muttered.
Graysen lifted a shoulder. He wasnât sorry. Heâd do anything to get Isa back. Once sheâd left him heâd gone into a downward spiral. After trying to get her to forgive him, apologizing too many times to count only to be shut out, heâd drowned himself in vodka for about a month until heâd realized he was being a giant pussy. He wasnât just going to let her go. So heâd spent the last few months working on getting a huge contract to bring to Red Stone when he left the CIA. It had been a balancing act, getting this contract while still working for the government. But a lot of people owed him favors and heâd cashed in a ton of them. She was that important to him. Hell, she was the most important thing to him.
âIf she refuses to work with youââ
âShe wonât.â
Harrison eyed him over the top of his beer, his expression unconvinced. Harrison was a couple years younger than Graysen but heâd been a damn good agent back when theyâd been in Black Ops together. They hadnât worked together often, but Harrison was one of the few people Graysen truly respected. The man had a solid code of honor and he was a patriot. Maybe more of a Boy Scout than Graysen, but that wasnât necessarily a bad trait.
Televisions blared inane sports bullshit above them and people were talking and laughing with no concern for anyone around them. Whereas he knew how many people were at the bar right now, the specific layout of the restaurant, how many exits there wereâwhich were closestâand how many people were outside the window. No doubt Harrison could detail all that information as well.
âMaraâs pissed about the whole situation,â Harrison said.
âYou told her?â He snapped out the words louder than heâd planned, but no one around them seemed to notice.
âYep.â No apology from Harrison either.
âIs she going to tell Isa?â Because Harrison had made it clear to Graysen that Isa meant a lot to Mara. And Mara had been a spook too. Graysen wasnât exactly sure which branch but he guessed MI6.
âNo, but she wants to.â
âAfter tomorrow it wonât matter.â
âLookâĤjust donât get your hopes up about this.â For the first time since Graysen had known Harrison, the guy actually looked and sounded concerned. For him.
âAbout what?â
âAbout Isa. Sheâs never mentioned you, never mentioned an ex, nothing. And what you did wasâĤ I donât know if you can come back from that.â
Graysen didnât respond, just turned to stare out the window at the passing traffic and the bright lights of downtown Miami. Yeah, heâd screwed up good. That was the understatement of the century.
Heâd infiltrated her fatherâs business, lied about who he was, seduced her and broken her heartâand inadvertently gotten her father killed.
If it was the last damn thing he did, he was going to make things right between them.
