Sometimes past and present collide. Scarred by childhood tragedy and then abandoned by a mother who couldn't handle a gifted child, Lucy Kiddron survived foster care to become a computer analyst for the government. Three years later, she's poised to leave the agency and launch her own video game ... until her final assignment goes horribly wrong. Wade Cameron understands betrayal. His ex-fiance sold him out and now he's neck deep in computer code, trying to find the back door she inserted. Worse, a smart-mouthed computer hacker has just flipped his world upside down. A terrorist wants Wade's computer program. A psycho killer wants Lucy's life. And then the stakes are raised when a sniper takes aim. But who's the target-Wade or Lucy? The two risk everything as they muddle through a minefield of danger, distrust, and a burgeoning attraction that won't be denied."
