    When a freelance job brings Zoe, a notorious computer hacker, into contact with charming billionaire Parker, she can't deny the sparks between them. But with a tragic past catching up to her, and enemies hot on her trail, can she afford to let the high walls around her heart finally crumble? 
        
                                                                             *****
        
        Zoe Bloom knows falling in love is nothing but a weakness, especially in her line of work. Haunted by a childhood of tragedy and targeted by countless enemies in Boston's criminal underworld, emotional distance has become essential for survival as an infamous computer hacker. The last person she expects to weaken her resolve is Parker West-billionaire playboy and heir to the most successful company in town. But Parker's charm is difficult to ignore...and the more time she spends with him, the more her walls seem to break down. With dangerous foes closing in on all sides and the mystery of her tragic past finally coming to light, Zoe is forced to reevaluate her priorities. Can a girl who's spent her life pushing people away finally let herself fall?
