Even the things that shouldn't exist.Matthew Burt never knew his real family. He was meant to be a ghost. A soldier remade into a living weapon, erased by the program that broke him. But when Shayla becomes the key to a war between human power brokers and Vanguardian operatives, Matthew is forced out of hiding.Thrown together again, their connection ignites-dangerous, undeniable, and written in something older than fate. But the closer they get, the clearer one truth becomes: To save Shayla's life, Matthew may have to sacrifice his own.Explosive, heart-wrenching, and unapologetically romantic, Sacrifice: Shadow Syndicate is a story of a soldier's journey of identity and redemption, a woman's courage, and a love powerful enough to defy destiny itself.
