MEET THE CHARACTERS

Brianna Sterling

A 29-year-old forensic psychologist with a cascade of long, fiery red hair and intelligent, bright blue eyes that have learned to see through lies. She moves with a quiet, observant grace, her beauty a stark contrast to the sharp, analytical mind that has just dismantled her own life. The tailored linen dresses she wears in Italy are armor against a past she's fleeing, but the set of her shoulders speaks of a woman who has chosen freedom, however terrifying.

Adrian Valenti

The head of the Valenti syndicate, a man in his mid-thirties with an imposing, darkly handsome presence that commands silence. He moves with lethal, economical grace, his expensive suits tailored to fit broad shoulders and a powerful build that suggests violence restrained by will. His eyes, a penetrating shade of gunmetal grey, miss nothing—they’ve watched Brianna with a fascination that has shifted from professional curiosity to a possessive, simmering hunger.

Julian Cross

A man in his early thirties with the chiseled, all-American looks of a government poster boy, which he uses as a mask. His posture is arrogantly perfect, his smile never reaching his cold, assessing eyes. The controlled aggression in his stride reveals the narcissist and manipulator beneath the CIA agent's veneer, a man who considers people assets to be managed and possessions to be reclaimed.
