Abby Sinclair rose from a terrifying childhood to become a world-class assassin—one who will use any resource at her disposal to kill the bad guys she’s sent after. She’s currently on assignment in Colombia, attempting to kill an arms dealer, but she’s changed the plan and gone rogue. For reasons no one understands she allowed herself to be caught, and now she’s in terrible danger.

Noelle, Abby’s employer and friend, hires mercenary Jim Morgan and his team—well-known for their ability to extract anyone from any situation—to get Abby out of there. There’s just one problem: in getting her out, they ruined her plans, and now she has to go back.

To make things more complicated, Abby left a psychopathic torturer badly mutilated, and he’s determined to track her down and kill her. And now Kane, one of Jim’s team members, has developed an interest in her—and very much wants to crack the shell she’s built up around herself. In the middle of all of this, the group has to find a way to break back into the place she left behind—unless they want to see a lot of innocent children suffer terrible fates.
