•Book 1 of the Chords of Courage Series• "Cause I'm fearless I'll jump off the ledges Burn all the bridges, walk on the edges I'm fearless I don't mind the shadows Take all the arrows, ride in the echoes And I don't mind the night I don't mind the fight, even if I lose I've got thick skin, I'll dive in, I'm fearless Except when it comes to you." . . To many, she's an angel in the chaos of war- but even angels have scars. 1st Lieutenant Gabrielle "Halo" Knocks is a sniper, a spy, and a symbol of hope in the darkest corners of the battlefield. Working for both the U.S. Army and the CIA, she's earned her callsign by being exactly what others need when the world is burning-precise, unshakable, and untouchable. But when she's reassigned to Task Force 141, her carefully built armor begins to crack. No longer a lone wolf, Gabby must navigate the complexities of a new team-and confront the shadows of her past. At the center of it all is Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley, the most enigmatic man she's ever met. Cold, silent, and deadly, he's a mystery few dare to approach. But Gabby isn't afraid of ghosts. As danger mounts and secrets unravel, the line between survival and surrender begins to blur. And in the fire of war, two broken souls may find something worth fighting for-each other. --- Set before, during, and after Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) Original characters and plot belong to the author.

Nosia 'Scope' Novak was recruited into the SAS after her service in the Polish Armed Forces. She met the team 1-4-1 upon her recruitment, impressing Captain Price where eventually when it came down to their next mission, upon his request, she was eventually an added member to taskforce 1-4-1 alongside a longtime member, Ghost. Along their mission to take down Hassan, Nosia and Ghost find themselves bonding into a unique friendship, the pair an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. But along the way, a sort of passion grew unquestioned and unexplored as they both kept their mouths shut regarding these feelings of infatuation residing hidden in their hearts. While Nosia was a playful flirt towards him, Ghost was cold-hearted, unwilling to speak of them, complicating things within their friendship. MODERN WARFARE 3 ADDITION: SPOILERS A year after the previous events took place, the now bonded lovers Ghost and Nosia work together alongside taskforce 141 to take down a previous target from many years ago; Vladimir Makarov.

The team must put their personal quarrels and emotions aside to succeed, but after so much hardship and with the world unknowingly depending on them, the mission at hand will bare a heavy burden.
