Concerto of Crows and Cowards

Description

Some wounds cut too deep to ever fully heal. After losing her husband in a devastating tragedy, elite Dynamis Security operative Jade Jax buried her heart alongside him, vowing never to love again. The job became her sanctuary—dangerous missions and impossible odds the only companions she trusted. Max Devlin has silently carried a torch for Jade for years, respecting boundaries and keeping his feelings locked away. She was never his to love. Until now. When a high-stakes assignment throws them together in a deadly game where survival demands absolute trust, the walls Jade built around her heart begin to crack. Working in seamless synchronicity as they've done for years takes on new meaning when every shared glance ignites something neither can deny. With their lives hanging in the balance, Max is willing to risk everything for a chance at what he's always wanted. But Jade knows firsthand how cruelly fate can snatch away happiness, and opening herself to love means opening herself to devastating loss. Some risks are worth taking. Some aren't. And sometimes, the heart doesn't give you a choice.
