Description
When FBI cyber-crime analyst Elena Royce unlocks her late father's encrypted files, she never imagined the deadly secrets they'd unleash. Thrust into a shadowy world of political conspiracies and high-stakes assassinations, she must team up with Rafe Thorne-an impulsive ex-journalist with a reputation for exposing the untouchable. As their search for truth draws them closer, sparks ignite even as bullets fly, each code they crack bringing them into deeper peril. Guided by the cryptic interventions of the mysterious Wanderer Yashu-whose whispered riddles both aid and haunt them-Elena and Rafe race against a ruthless puppet-master hidden within the halls of power. Betrayal lies around every corner, and every stolen moment of intimacy risks exposing their hearts to unimaginable danger. With a ticking clock, a blood-tinted rose, and a fractured trust waiting to shatter, The Cipher Between Us is a heart-pounding tale of love encrypted by lies-and the courage it takes to decrypt both. Will Elena and Rafe survive the final revelation, or will the last secret be their undoing?
