But there's a greater threat someone is planning to sabotage water supplies, and she might be the only obstacle between London and a deadly epidemic.

But as government conspiracies and industrial espionage threaten everything they've built, can two fierce minds learn to trust before their enemies destroy them both? Or will the devil's bargain prove too high a price for their hearts to pay?
