Welcome to the new world. Things have changed just a bit. Big Brother’s not only watching you, he now has direct access to everything you see—thanks to the mandatory implant you get at birth. And Friday Jones has seen something she wishes she hadn’t. Something the authorities badly want.
With everyone out to kill her or steal her secrets, Friday turns to an outlaw and mercenary for help. One who has secrets of his own. Striker’s special abilities have kept him in the shadows for a reason, which means stepping into the spotlight aimed at Friday could get them both killed. But Friday Jones calls to the wildness in Striker, making her a hard woman to resist—and the only woman who could ultimately save him.
