Ten years ago, a great earthquake destroyed everything Karma knew. Isolated from the rest of the world and forced to scavenge just to survive, she turned in desperation to Phoenix Corps-a company that promised aid and salvation.

What she got instead was a nightmare.

Now free from their clutches, Karma has made it her mission to be a thorn in Phoenix Corps’ side-stealing their supplies and freeing their victims at every turn. She’s built a found family from the ashes, people she’d die to protect. When it comes to the dangerous work of sabotage and rescue, she works alone. She can’t risk losing anyone else.

Until Ridge.

When he steals food from her traps, she should leave him to Phoenix Corps’ mercy. Instead, she finds herself mounting a dangerous rescue that puts everything-and everyone-she’s built at risk. Ridge has his own scars from Phoenix Corps, his own reasons for hiding in the shadows. But there’s something about this fierce, protective woman that makes him want to step into the light.

In a world where survival means staying invisible, can two broken souls find strength in each other?
