Following the end of her military career, Geneva takes a job at a private security firm offering protection and investigative services. She appreciates the guidance and camaraderie from Renae, the company’s owner, and is eager to learn new skills. Her prior experience, along with her familiarity with Pasurea’s upper class, help soothe her insecurities and motivate her to take on challenging assignments.

Due to her new position, Marcus turns to her when Adele inadvertently comes across potential illegal activity at her office. Geneva is skeptical at first, especially since some tension lingers in the relationship between them, but agrees to look into the matter. To add to her unease, Ash contacts her from the military ship to inform her he’s being deployed on a risky mission to a war zone on the opposite end of the galaxy.

The investigation of Adele’s colleagues leads the women on an adventure throughout Pasurea’s capital, from extravagant rooftop galas to the darker areas of the city. During Geneva’s mission to uncover more details, communication from Ash is sparse, and she struggles to push aside her remaining romantic feelings for Marcus. She attempts to conceal her emotions from all three of them, not wanting to cause any additional stress or concern, but it doesn’t take long before those closest to her see through her façade. Protecting people has always been her priority, but can she keep her loved ones safe while navigating her new roles?
