Her husband lost. A crime she didn’t commit. A truth more dangerous than she ever imagined.

When attorney Quinn Durand arrives in Türkiye to reunite with her new husband, she’s met with devastating news—her husband Harrison Robicheaux is dead, accused of espionage and theft. But with no body recovered, Quinn refuses to believe it.

Instead, she finds herself trapped in a high-stakes game of deception. Labeled an accomplice, she is given a chilling ultimatum: retrieve the stolen classified intel or face imprisonment—or worse. Pursued by ruthless criminals and powerful agencies, Quinn discovers Harris’s trail of lies leads to an illicit arms auction and a weapon capable of mass destruction.

With time running out and danger closing in, Quinn must outwit her enemies and expose the truth. But in a world where loyalty is a deadly illusion, trusting the wrong person could be her last mistake.
