A black-market courier and elite data runner, she slips through the neon underworld of a collapsing megacity, smuggling secrets past a brutal surveillance regime that kills first and erases later. She has no home. No attachments. No future. Just the next job.Until she accepts one contract that changes everything.A pulse-shielded biotech crate.A maximum-risk transport.And a partner she never asked for.Max Reed is a wanted smuggler with a reputation for surviving impossible odds. Half the underworld trusts him. The other half wants him dead. When Victoria and Max are forced together on a high-stakes extraction through the most dangerous sector of the city, they discover that the cargo they are carrying is more than illegal.It is revolutionary.The regime wants it destroyed.The resistance wants it weaponized.And someone inside their own crew wants it sold.As drones fill the skies and kill squads close in, Victoria and Max must race across a collapsing urban battlefield of outlaw markets, corrupted checkpoints, and forgotten underground tunnels where the city hides its sins. Every step pushes them deeper into betrayal, violence, and a connection neither of them can afford.Because in this world, love is the most dangerous thing you can smuggle.A Cyberpunk Thriller With a Beating HeartRust and Hunger delivers more than pulse-pounding action and gritty sci-fi worldbuilding.
