She was the beautiful, brilliant flaw in his perfectly controlled world.

Stefan Nowak’s life is built on a foundation of cold, hard data. After a tragic failure in his past, he trusts nothing and no one—especially not his own judgment. As an elite specialist for the Second Chance Sentinels, his job is to find the structural flaws in disasters. He is the man they call to make sense of the wreckage.

But he’s never seen a disaster as beautiful as Quinn O’Malley.

She’s the fiery, resilient engineer being served up to the media and the FBI as the scapegoat for a catastrophic bridge collapse that has left a city in mourning and a nation demanding justice. She is his new assignment. His job is to find the error in her work, the flaw in her character, the final nail for her professional coffin.

There’s just one problem.

The numbers don’t lie.

The bridge wasn’t a failure. It was an attack. A sophisticated, elegant act of terror. And Quinn O’Malley isn’t the perpetrator.

She’s the next target.

Forced into a tense alliance, Stefan and Quinn are thrown into a desperate race for the truth. Hunted by a ghost-like terrorist with a flair for the dramatic and a deep, personal connection to Stefan’s own past, they must rely on their clashing intellects to survive. He is a man of methodical precision; she is a woman of intuitive, chaotic genius.

To protect her, Stefan must become the man he swore he would never be again—a protector who trusts his heart over his head. But as the terrorist’s endgame is revealed—a plan far more devastating than a single bridge—Stefan and Quinn discover that the only way to rebuild their shattered lives is to design a new future, together.

And that the most dangerous point of failure… is a heart that has nothing left to lose.

Blueprint Stefan is a full-length, standalone romantic suspense novel from the Second Chance Sentinels series. No cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.
