Some fruits are forbidden for a reason…
Elaine Mercer has rebuilt her life, a careful mosaic of order and art, far from the bitter taste of her past. Three years ago, she walked away from Josh Volkov, the man she loved. Her world is quiet, her heart a locked vault.
Until the forbidden fruit returns.
Josh appears at her door with a warning: her sister Claire has vanished after uncovering explosive evidence of corruption. The only clue is a coded message—and a note only Elaine can decipher.
Reluctantly pulled back into his dangerous orbit, Elaine if forced to navigate a world of hidden servers, secret safe houses, and mercenaries who kill without hesitation. As they peel back layers of deception, every step brings her closer to the sister she must save and the man she can't forget.
But some truths, once revealed, are as sharp as a shattered seed. Now Elaine must decide whether the taste of pomegranate is a reminder of her greatest betrayal—or the only thing that can keep her alive.
