A brutal raid.

 

Marissa Ricci never expected her field assignment in Ethiopia to end in bloodshed. Humanitarian missions were supposed to be safe—they were meant to be neutral ground. She was wrong. When a strike team wipes out her camp with surgical precision, leaving her the only survivor, she knows one thing is true: she was never meant to make it out alive.

​

A buried op.

​

Marco “Midas” Guerriero built his life around control, loyalty, and the mission, until a black ops deployment went sideways and he took the fall. It cost him everything. His career, his honor, and her. Now grounded under NATO orders and buried in regrets, nothing will stop him from getting to Marissa. Not red tape, not the past, and definitely not the rules. She’s the one he never stopped loving. Now he just has to survive long enough to prove it.

​

A love they swore to forget.

​

Forced into hiding with a history they can’t outrun, Marissa and Midas must survive the fallout of a conspiracy with roots deep inside the Italian military. Every breath digs up old wounds, every glance ignites the embers they buried years ago, and every kiss might be their last. The man who once walked away will burn the world to protect her, and the woman who swore she’d never forgive him might be the only one who can save them both.

​

What’s more dangerous than a love that never fades?
The past that haunts it.​​
