Synopsis

When every second counts, trusting the wrong instinct could cost everything. It was supposed to be a simple assignment. Hot spot journalist Auralia Rochambeau thought exposing a charity scam would be just another headline—until the con she exposed turned violent, and her world spiraled into chaos. Trapped by a sudden storm and a deadly bridge collapse in rural Virginia, Auralia must rely on her instincts and the man she loves to survive. Honoré “Creed” Duchamp, retired Marine Raider and member of Iniquus’s famed Cerberus Tactical K9 Team Charlie, never backs down from danger. Alongside his scent-trained black lab, Rougarou, Creed races against escalating havoc to protect lives—especially Auralia’s. Over the past year, their relationship has quietly shifted from friendship to something deeper, a bond they rely on as the stakes grow higher. As secrets surface and the storm rages, Auralia and Creed face life-or-death decisions, testing their trust, loyalty, and instincts. In this heart-pounding survival thriller, suspense, action adventure two unforgettable heroes work together in a fight for survival.
