"I left you once. I won't let you out of my sight again." Undercover mercenary Deven Kapur hadn't been able to save his family from the mafia that ruled the kingdom of Romanistan. To protect the woman he loved he'd abandoned her and infiltrated the evil organization. His priority was revenge--until Maya walked back into his life. Maya Chaundry, aka the Leopard, rescues victims of human trafficking. Nothing will ruin her mission. Not Deven. Not the renewed passion between them. Not the danger that forces them to work together. But as they rush to solve the mystery of an ancient artifact, a secret is revealed that could tear them apart--forever.
