Sanctuary of Lies
She has the codes to destroy a government; he has the skills to keep her alive—if they survive the storm.
Nora Ives is a high-society socialite who witnesses her politician husband's murder and flees into the unforgiving Sierra Roja desert with a target on her back and a secret encrypted in her mind. Her only hope lies at The Sanctuary, an off-the-grid fortress run by the formidable Blackwood brothers—men disavowed by the government they once served and haunted by their own violent pasts.
Cyrus Blackwood is a brooding tactical commander who views Nora as a liability—a pampered princess who shouldn't have survived the drive. But when a historic dust storm slams into the mesa, grounding all flights and cutting off communications, Cyrus is forced into a claustrophobic lockdown with the one woman who challenges every wall he’s built around his heart.
As a cartel hit squad closes in under the cover of the storm, Nora and Cyrus must strip away their psychological armor and learn to trust one another. In this high-stakes game of survival, the 'Touch Her and Die' energy reaches a boiling point, and Nora realizes that the greatest danger isn't the men outside the gates, but the man standing between her and the fire.
