Gillian's fragile peace shatters when her boss and mentor, Pinkie, is arrested after a cryptojacking scheme takes over his bar's computers.

After surviving a vicious murder investigation, Gillian fought hard to rebuild her life—better career, new confidence, and a relationship she wants to believe in. Losing Pinkie means giving up everything she's worked for.

Running both bars without him is brutal. Proving his innocence feels impossible, especially when the criminals behind the attack target Gillian. Determined to save the man who believed in her, she dives into a dangerous world of cybercrime where underground alliances shift without warning and one wrong move can be fatal.

Jon, the musician who stole her heart, helps until sudden success pulls him into a spotlight she's not sure she can follow. As the threat spreads quietly and relentlessly, Gillian must do what she swore she'd never do again—trust the cops who once betrayed her and the criminals she's supposed to fear—to expose the conspiracy before it destroys them all.
