Order of the Black Knights US Marshal Jaeger Tripp is assigned to the Federal Witness Protection Program. The hurt and destruction he's seenâalong with protecting criminals who are only cooperating with the authorities to keep themselves out of jailâhave left him with a bleak and jaded view of both life and people. His current assignment is Wren O'Riley, a computer wizard who witnessed a high-profile cartel hit. To Jaeger, Wren is the same as any other job. He must protect him long enough to get him to testify at trial, and his personal feelings have no place in his work and must be set aside. But that's easier said than done. On the run and fighting for their lives, Jaeger and Wren can't help but grow closer. And Jaeger can't help seeing beyond Wren's nerdy exterior to a man who might be just what Jaeger needs to settle his soul and capture his heartâif they survive long enough to get that chance.
