Officer Lila Rivera thought she knew loss—until death came for her twice. Born into a family of cops, Lila lived for the badge. Her instincts and cybercrime skills set her apart—until her obsession with Marcus Brinks cost her the badge…and her family. Consumed by grief, vengeance becomes her master, driving her toward a darkness guaranteed to burn her out for good. A reckless night in a small-town dive bar throws her into the arms of Sam Wilder, an EMT fighting for his own second chance. But when her vendetta collides with his world, the Wilder family is thrust back into the crosshairs of an enemy they thought was long gone—and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. Because Apex—the predator no one saw coming— is hunting them all.
