Zodiac Tactical's Rogue Division doesn't officially exist. Its operatives do the jobs the law can't touch, and they live in the gray between justice and violence.

Ryder Sutton walked away from Rogue four years ago. Not because of what they asked him to do. Because of how good he was at doing it.

Then a human trafficking operation surfaces, and Ryder is the only way inside.

Cassandra Leuenberger is brilliant, guarded, and happiest behind a locked door and a wall of monitors. The man she'd been falling for over late-night video calls now thinks she's cold and distant in person.

She'd rather he believe that than learn the truth.

When the threat drags Cassandra into the middle of Ryder’s op, everything changes. Keeping her alive means becoming the man he swore he'd never be again. Losing her isn't something he's willing to consider.

He has a past he buried.
She has a secret she can't hide much longer.

And the men they're hunting don't let go.

 

Non-stop action and suspense! The next book in Crouch’s Zodiac Tactical series brings us Ryder and Cassie’s story. She’s basically a shut-in and he considers himself too suited to the undercurrents of life to be normal. They both are knee deep in trouble as a case important to Fallon manages to sway Cassandra into coming onsite and working them. Danger is around every corner as an undercover assignment goes lopsided and has them in deeper than ever. I wanted a bit more depth to each of these characters as it felt like details were glossed over in several places. I liked them and the heart of the case was a good one, so I still enjoyed. Looking forward to more from the series!
