Seven years after a sudden disappearance from the man who she once would call her forever, battlefield trauma surgeon Aida Yen is deployed to a remote Russian outpost on the brink of collapse. Haunted by war and disillusioned by love, she never expects to be saved-literally-by a masked soldier who feels all too familiar. What she doesn't know is that the man behind the mask is Eugene Dubrovsky, a ghost operator with the codename Havoc that has blood on his hands and a past that was buried deep, including her. As they circle each other in a brutal war zone, both guarded and changed by time, Aida and Eugene are drawn into a dangerous game of identity, memory, and desire. But when old wounds are ripped open and new secrets surface, one question lingers: Can you love someone you no longer recognize and would you still love them if you knew the truth?
