Lyrika discovers that her ex-husband, Ashlen, who disappeared three years ago, isn't a mild-mannered computer analyst at all. He's the mastermind behind a ruthless criminal organization that controls Manhattan. She is approached by a police operative named Brisden and is being tasked with seducing the crime boss and bringing him to justice. At first, it seems like an easy task for a former trauma doctor who had seen her share of blood and gore. Unfortunately, she was never prepared to rekindle feelings for the cruel, heartless liar whose sudden departure had once stolen her hope for happily ever after.
