Madeline Makarov has lived her life in the shadow of a name that strikes fear across continents, Vladimir Makarov. Born into bloodshed and raised by a man who commands chaos, she has never known a world untouched by violence. Trapped within her father's iron grip, Madeline walks a razor's edge between loyalty and loathing, surviving in silence as the daughter of one of the world's most notorious terrorists. When Task Force 141 operative Simon "Ghost" Riley is captured during a high risk mission gone wrong, he's thrown into the depths of Makarov's fortress, a place where no one escapes alive. But within the cold walls of his cell, Ghost catches the eye of an unlikely observer. Madeline is drawn to the quiet strength behind his mask, and he sees the flicker of something unbroken behind hers. As secrets unravel and tensions rise, Madeline is forced to confront a devastating question: Can she defy the man who shaped her? And in a world built on violence, is redemption ever more than just a dream? ---------------------------- TRIGGER WARNING : This book includes mentions of torture, descriptive gory scenes, mentions of blood and interrogations, mental abuse, physical abuse and some MATURE content chapters

Charlotte had spent years learning how to live without Simon Riley. Once, he had been the boy down the street-the one who climbed through her bedroom window at impossible hours, stole food from her kitchen, and occupied a place in her family so naturally that no one bothered asking why he was there anymore. He was her best friend, her greatest constant, and the person Charlotte believed would be part of her life forever. Then Simon joined the military. At first, he still called. Messages arrived from places he couldn't name, blurry photographs accompanied by little more than still here. Then the calls became fewer, the silences longer, until eventually there was nothing at all. Years passed. Charlotte grew up, built a life without him, and learned to stop waiting for someone who had apparently decided not to come home. Then, at two in the morning, her phone rings. Simon Riley has been injured. And after all these years, somehow, Charlotte is still his emergency contact.

He was never supposed to stay. Simon Riley was the kind of man people avoided in hallways-quiet, distant, always leaving before anyone could truly know him. The kind of neighbor Freya didn't expect to learn the sound of, or the rhythm of his life through a shared wall. And yet... somehow, she did. He didn't talk much. He didn't need to. She learned him in pieces instead-through repairs he didn't have to do, through the way he lingered a little longer each time he knocked, through the quiet ways he kept showing up when he didn't have a reason to. Simon didn't belong to softness. But he kept coming back to hers. A slowburn neighbor AU featuring Simon "Ghost" Riley, where domestic quiet turns into obsession, protection, and consequences neither of them are ready for.

Following the success of the 141, it becomes necessary to expand. Price, pre-occupied with following leads, tasks each of the men in turn to find a suitable addition from their batch of recruits. It's Ghost's turn, and he finds the perfect fit. Simon "Ghost" Riley x Reader, slow burn, 18+
