He was raised to hate everything she is. His DNA says she's the only thing that can save him.

Caleb Devereaux is a genius hiding behind a blue Mohawk and a criminal record. Bred by the Guild as a super-soldier, raised in a South Carolina trailer park by Klan fanatics who told him his inner demon was a weapon for their cause, he chose prison over becoming what they wanted him to be. He got out. He got clean. He buried himself in code and told himself that was enough.

It wasn't. Because the woman he couldn't save still visits him in the dark, and the shame of what his family did — what he almost became — doesn't wash off with distance or time.

Arianna McDougall is the White Mouse — a legendary hacker, a Nigerian woman raised by Scottish missionaries, and the most principled person Caleb has ever met. She is, down to the last chromosome, everything his upbringing taught him to despise. She is also, down to the last chromosome, his mate.

Their bond isn't gentle. It's a detonation that strips away every mask Caleb has built and every certainty Arianna holds. He has to look at her and see the lie in everything he was raised on. She has to look at him and decide whether a man who chose prison over hate — but who still carries its scars on his skin — is someone she can trust with her life.

Because a genetic mutation is spreading through their shared DNA, and the only two hackers fast enough to crack it are currently struggling to be in the same room without either fighting or fusing.

A man trying to outrun the poison he was raised in. A woman whose moral clarity has no room for grey. And a bond that demands they build something neither of them was taught to believe in.

Romance where love is the hardest choice — and the most necessary one.
