Kane Sinclair passes as a quiet university professor, but he's really undercover, chasing the smuggling ring that killed his father. Alice White is an orphan in his class, hungry for any place that feels like home. A single night at a bar ties them together, and Kane pulls her into his operation as bait.
Alice proves sharper than anyone expected, and the missions draw them closer. Then she finds out whose blood runs in her veins: she is the daughter of Alessandro Russo, the man Kane has sworn to destroy. Kidnapped and used as a bargaining chip, Alice becomes the price of two men's war. Kane has to decide whether revenge or the woman in front of him is worth keeping.
