She broke into a billionaire's villa to steal evidence—and walked out with the one person no one expected her to save. Evelynn Hall is a cold, surgical operative with a secret life as the composer "ClearWind." When a routine extraction in Harbor City's Mariner Heights goes sideways, she frees a pale, charming captive named Jin Elliott. He calls her "sister" with wet eyes; the world calls her danger. The file in her pocket is a contract that ties a powerful tycoon to a long-buried family massacre—and that contract will make everyone try to own her choices. She could hand the boy to his shadowed past, or turn him into the perfect pawn. She chooses neither. Instead she plants evidence, writes songs that derail gossip, and digs under the hides of men who thought they were untouchable. Every rescued breath, ruined reputation, and small, reckless kiss rewrites the balance of power. This is the story of a woman who learned to survive on steel and silence—and then decided she would rather make them suffer loud and public.
