Cicatrices

Appearances can be deceiving, and Brooke Crowley has made lying her specialty. She serves coffee in Ashmoor, a stark town where no one asks questions. Her neighbors are unaware that she's no ordinary civilian: Brooke is a state agent, trained for SEDS (Special Security and Defense Service). Travis Holmgren, SEDS squad leader, would destroy everything for her. He's confident, ruthless, the only person Brooke has ever trusted. But Nickolas, her childhood best friend, wants her too… even now that her cover has been blown, unleashing a far greater threat: a dangerous man, faceless and nameless, known as the Kaiser. Brooke Crowley has become his target. The Kaiser wants to break her, shatter her, and render her unrecognizable before making her disappear forever. And Brooke knows it. Now she must face the most difficult decision of her life: protect those she loves or fulfill the duty she swore to uphold… while fighting to save herself.
