Luca doesn't lose control. As Black Tide's systems architect, precision is his weapon—every move calculated, every outcome mapped. It's how he keeps his team alive. Until the day someone matches him. When a mission turns into a kill order, the truth comes out—Black Tide was never free. Now the organization that built them wants them erased… starting with Luca. Troy has spent years in the shadows, watching systems and breaking patterns. The moment Luca exposes himself, Troy knows what's coming—and refuses to let him face it alone. Thrown together in a war already closing in, control fractures, lines blur, and something dangerous ignites between them. Because in a world built on survival… falling might be the most lethal move of all.
