Intro. Luca Moretti didn't usually trust anyone. In their world, loyalty was paid in blood and secrets were worth more than life. But there was one exception: his hacker. Elle, the invisible girl behind the screen, the brilliant mind who kept her online empire clean. He had never seen her in person, and he didn't need to; his voice through the earpiece and his results were enough.
Until everything went wrong.
An intercepted operation, an unexpected error... and for the first time, Elle had to leave anonymity. Luca personally took her to a safe point—his armored car, in the middle of the chaos—while outside his men controlled the perimeter.
Inside, the silence weighed. She was nervous, trying to stay calm as she played with the edge of her jacket. It wasn't how he imagined it. She was naive, sweet, clean-eyed... but with a mind so sharp that she could take down entire systems with a couple of keys.
