In a near-futuristic world where governments fight crime through covert agencies enhanced with scientific tattoos, Amelia Lockhart reigns as the brilliant but overworked CEO of Lockhart Industries, a weapons technology empire she inherited after her father’s death.
Sharp-tongued, strategic, and guarded, Amelia fights daily to protect her company from lawsuits, political sabotage, and her scheming step-family—unaware that an even greater threat grows within her walls.
Meanwhile, an underground spy agency known only as, The Veil, has uncovered intelligence suggesting that Amelia’s company is supplying advanced weaponry to terrorist networks. To investigate, they embed one of their top agents, Ethan Hale, into her company under deep cover.
But Ethan’s cover is unexpected:
A clumsy, bumbling, almost pathetic employee no one would ever suspect.
Behind the façade hides a lethal operative equipped with a rare Phase-Tattoo... a powerful scientific mark that grants invisibility, intangibility, and the ability to disassemble objects with a touch. A mark so strong it’s reserved only for the agency’s highest-ranking elites… and one with dangerous limits.
When Amelia is kidnapped by a criminal syndicate demanding access to her father’s secret weapon system, Ethan abandons his mission protocol to save her, revealing abilities she never imagined. In the chaos, a bullet tears through his tattooed hand before hitting Amelia, causing the glowing ink to seep into her bloodstream.
Amelia survives.
But she does not remain unchanged.
Her body reacts in ways no human body should. And Ethan, the only one who can explain what’s happening, vanishes without a trace, erased from every database as if he never existed.
Determined to uncover the truth, Amelia dives into a world of espionage, hidden factions, and scientific secrets her father once feared.
Her life becomes the target of even deadlier enemies as Ethan resurfaces, torn between duty and something far more dangerous:
His growing feelings for the woman he was sent to investigate.
Caught between betrayal and desire, between a world she knows and one she was never meant to see, Amelia must decide:
Is Ethan her enemy?
Her protector?
Or the one person fate tied her to when his mark became hers?
In a race against conspiracies, biological countdowns, and the weapon system that everyone wants their hands on, Amelia and Ethan must face the truth:
Their lives are intertwined.
Their enemies are closing in.
And falling in love may be the most dangerous mission of all.
