When Interpol detective Elias Rowe arrests the enigmatic art thief Briar Vale, he believes his job is done. She’s brilliant, dangerous, and responsible for the theft of The Last Mile, a legendary altarpiece—and possibly for the murder of a cathedral guard. As Elias escorts her across Europe by train, returning her to Austria for trial, he expects silence, resistance, maybe even an escape attempt. What he doesn’t expect is connection. Over long miles and slow revelations, Elias begins to see past the headlines and dossiers. Briar is no monster. And when a deeper truth surfaces—that she may be protecting someone Elias once loved, someone he believed dead—the lines between duty and desire begin to blur. Torn between justice and love, Elias must choose: deliver Briar to the authorities, or risk everything to uncover the real story behind the theft, the murder, and the myth of The Last Mile. As secrets unravel and the past returns with a vengeance, Elias and Briar find themselves facing a final decision—one that will define who they are, and what they are willing to sacrifice for truth, redemption, and each other.
