Virgil Skinner served fourteen years for a murder he didn't commit. He's finally been exonerated, but he can't escape the gang he joined in order to survive. They'll do anything to keep him from telling what he knows. And if they can't get to Virgil they'll go after his sister and her kids.

The California Department of Corrections needs someone to infiltrate another gang, one that's taking control of the state's most notorious supermax. Virgil's the perfect candidate — and he'll do it in exchange for his sister's protection.

Assistant deputy warden Peyton Adams is opposed to having Virgil in her prison. How will she protect him if things go bad? Besides, she's attracted to him; she might even be falling in love with him. That makes her all the more desperate to keep him safe — and it gives him someone else to lose.

Capturing a mysterious informant—Mirage—is their best hope of uncovering a deadly plan that risks the lives of teenagers and threatens economic chaos within the US, all unfolding just days before the presidential election. When Carlos takes the Mirage into custody, she’s nothing like what he expected and presents a threat to secrets he’s willing to die to protect.

When a postcard arrives from a friend who is supposed to be dead, Gabrielle is forced to take a risk that catapults her into the midst of dangerous operatives on a treacherous mission…and into the arms of a man whose duty is to hand her over to Interpol as an international felon. Carlos is the last person she should trust and the only one standing between her and death. But she unknowingly holds the key to his survival as well.

Carlos and Gabrielle face a destiny built on whispered lies that can save a nation, but promises to destroy one of them before it’s over.
