He was supposed to be dead. She was never supposed to fall for a ghost.
Detective Rafael Cruz spent years undercover, chasing down a cartel that finally caught up to him - and left him for dead. To keep him alive, the department did the only thing that could protect him: they buried him. No name. No file. No past. Just a locked recovery wing, armed guards outside his door, and a body barely holding on to the life it has left.
Dr. Elena Vaughn didn't sign up to fall for a patient who doesn't officially exist. She signed up to keep her distance, do her job, and go home unscathed - a rule she's broken exactly once before, and swore she'd never break again. But there's something about the quiet, stubborn detective relearning how to stand, how to remember, how to trust - that makes staying professional feel impossible.
As Rafe's memory slowly returns in fragments - a warehouse, a gunshot, a face he can't yet name - so does the danger that almost killed him. Someone inside the very walls meant to protect him has a price on his silence. And the closer Elena gets to the man behind the case file, the more she becomes exactly what the cartel is looking for.
With time running out and the past clawing its way back into the present, Rafe has to decide how far he'll go to finish what nearly destroyed him - and Elena has to decide if love is worth the risk of losing everything she's spent her life protecting, including her own heart.
