Nicolette Moore, the world's most wanted hacker and thief, just wanted to leave her past behind. But when an unexpected encounter forces her into witness protection under the 'protection' of arrogant FBI Agent Ryder Stevenson, her carefully constructed new life shatters. Now, bound by an explosive mutual dislike and a handcuff, they're on a collision course with danger, secrets, and an undeniable chaos that threatens to expose Nicky's true identity to the very agency hunting her. Can she outrun her past and escape Ryder, or is she finally caught?

The oppressive quiet of the FBI waiting room was only punctuated by the distant hum of fluorescent lights and the rhythmic tap of my fingers on the armrest. I stared up at the ceiling, counting the evenly spaced lights, a familiar ritual to pass the time.

Agent Stevenson, or 'R' as I grudgingly thought of him, was still in there with his father, the Director. I'd calculated it down to the second: 577 seconds left until my 'fate' was decided.

My phone lay open in my hand, displaying the perfectly forged life of Nicky Harrison: college grad, model citizen, no criminal record. A stark contrast to Nicolette Moore, the name plastered across the FBI's Most Wanted list, the one with ties to gangs and a knack for disappearing acts. I had to suppress a wry smile. They wouldn't know what hit them.

Just then, the door clicked open. Agent Stevenson emerged, a grim set to his jaw. He wordlessly uncuffed me from the chair, pulling me towards the office he'd just vacated. My internal clock was off by exactly three seconds. Damn.
