    Wallace wasn’t sure why he’d answered Jonas’s call to discuss setting up a unit akin to Terk’s remarkable team. Perhaps it was curiosity or something more. But, as soon as he lands in England, he’s thrust into a crisis. One of the MI6 research applicants has vanished, and Jonas fears the worst. Then Wallace hears her name … 
    Amy, an old friend of Terk’s, had been swept into peril without warning. Captured—with no clue as to where she was, why she was taken, or by whom—she manages to send a desperate message to Terk. Only when she connects with him mentally does her panic transform into steely determination. Whoever is behind this will pay. She wasn’t alone anymore. She has powerful allies. Allies who, even now, were racing to her aid, … she hoped. 
    For Wallace, finding Amy becomes an urgent mission, and ensuring her safe return is a close second. But what seems like a straightforward rescue quickly spirals into a tangled web of danger and intrigue. Amid the chaos, an unexpected connection sparks between them again, adding a layer of complexity to their perilous journey, as the stakes become more personal than ever.
