Kat and Maksim have been hiding in a sleepy Mediterranean town. It’s paradise, heaven on earth... So then why is Maksim eager to send Kat home? And why has he been acting strange since making contact with a certain hacker? Kat is determined to find out, but when a misstep in her “investigation” infuriates the hacker and her crew, the fallout puts Kat and Maksim on a collision course with the crime syndicate that’s been hunting them down.

With nowhere else to turn, they find refuge in Paris with Maksim’s friend, Dom. Kat is relieved, assuming the worst is over... until a devastating betrayal by Maksim comes to light. As the evidence piles up, Kat is forced to rely on Dom’s kindness and friendship. He’s a silver lining in this storm, and he’s there to help pick up the pieces of her broken heart.

But not everything is what it seems in the City of Light, and Dom has dark secrets of his own. Kat’s intuition, her instincts, even her vivid, foreboding dreams are no match for this game of cat and mouse.

The chess pieces are in place. The crime syndicate is closing in. Will Kat wake up to the truth before it's too late?
