The future is a brave new world, but some things never change. Money still talks, power still corrupts, and trust is a rare and precious commodity.


One conpiracy:
​​​​​​When Alison Gregorio lands a cushy administrative job, she knows her big paycheck comes with strings attached. She expects long hours and unreasonable demands. She doesn't expect to be dodging assassins before she gets her first raise, but that's exactly what she ends up doing.

A plane carrying the boss's biggest client disappears into limbo, and Alison's work for his estate reveals explosive secrets beneath the law firm's golden façade. Before long Alison is on the run with lethal secrets to protect and no idea where to turn for help.

Two people:
J
Staying alive is only the first challenge inventor Justin Wyatt faces after sabotage leaves him stranded in a frozen wasteland. Survival isn't enough. He needs to find out who betrayed him before his deadliest creations fall into the wrong hands. His biggest obstacle: the person holding the key to the mystery doesn't know he is still alive... and he doesn't know she exists.

Everything to lose:
Justin enlists the help of strangers with their own hidden agendas to hunt down his enemies, and once fate brings Alison to their doorstep, there's no turning back. Either they will untangle the mess of corporate intrigue and personal vendettas that brought them all together, or their common foe will destroy them all. Forty-two years have passed since the Restored United States emerged from decades of chaos and revolution.
