Elise Corto-Intel is a thief. Was a thief. Now, it seems like so much more is being asked of her. Despite her best efforts, a rogue operative is still on the loose and still trying to upset the careful balance of power in Jayu City. To sniff out the threat, Elise has to go deep undercover, accompanied only by her apprentice and her illegal AI.

Now, Elise is working for Gloria, the daughter of the CEO of a rival company. Cut off from her friends, family, and most of her support network, she's never felt more alone. Can Elise stop the threat before it destroys the city? Can she keep her cover and her life intact? And can she protect her own heart as Gloria's initial distrust grows into burgeoning love?
