Burning Point The final book in the Bound by Honoe series Major Cecelia Livingston never asked to become the center of a war. But after months of betrayals, ambushes, and bleeding secrets, she's no longer just the team's medic-she's their last shot at unraveling the truth. The base is compromised. Trust is scarce. And the one man she once clashed with-Commander Rhys Callan-might be the only person who can help her survive what comes next. As Cecelia returns home to recover, the team scatters, grieving another loss. But the war isn't over. It's just changed shape. From shadowed military offices to silent helicopter flights, the final operation begins-not against an outside enemy, but the powerful insiders who orchestrated it all. With the truth buried under layers of corruption, and loyalties fraying at the edges, Cecelia and Callan must follow the evidence to its final, brutal conclusion. But uncovering the truth comes at a cost. And not everyone is walking away from this alive.

Sequel to Bound to Honor In war, trust is fragile. In betrayal, it burns. After surviving an ambush that tore Unit Nine apart from the inside, Lieutenant Colonel Rhys Callan is left picking up the pieces-and burying the man he once called brother. The traitor is dead. But the enemy isn't. And the questions Carter left behind run deeper than blood. Sent home on mandatory leave, the team scatters. Some heal. Some drink. Some disappear. Major Cecelia Livingston doesn't have that luxury. Still recovering from the last mission-and from being used as a hostage in Carter's final act-she's barely holding it together. The base is quiet. Too quiet. And Callan is keeping his distance. Again. But the silence doesn't last. Encrypted messages. Unexplained surveillance. A buried file Carter never had clearance for. Something is still moving behind the curtain-and all signs point to a larger, darker force pulling the strings. As secrets surface and loyalties fracture, Cecelia and Callan find themselves drawn back into the fire. The tension between them has never burned hotter-but trust comes slow when the last one you gave it to held you at gunpoint. The line between command and connection is razor-thin. And someone is waiting for them to cross it.
