Everyone fears Major Alexander Draven. At twenty-nine, he's the youngest Major to command an elite operations camp buried deep in the burning sands of Iraq - a man born from a dynasty of power and politics. His father runs corporations and elections alike. Alexander? He runs a battlefield like an empire - cold, precise, merciless. No soldier crosses him. No enemy survives him. No one touches him - until her. Lyra Brooks was never supposed to end up here. She's just the pretty army doctor with a smile too perfect to trust. Lyra knows how to stitch up bullet wounds but not her own scars. She keeps her heart locked away behind sarcasm and late-night drinks. But here she is, buried in blood and sand as a Field Surgical Resident with the U.S. Army Medical Corps. One drunken night. A bar miles from base. A man everyone fears and a woman who pretends she doesn't fear anything at all. One night of brutal, wordless heat neither of them ever mentioned again. Until now. When the two pink lines appear in the harsh white light of the medical tent, Lyra knows one thing for certain - Alexander Draven cannot find out. Not now. Not here, never. But war doesn't care about secrets. Danger doesn't care about mistakes. And Major Draven? He does not like being kept in the dark.

"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers. What happened next really surprised me. *** Liya Abrechtt, a popular girl at college, starting her career, straight A student, everyone loves her, her life is practically normal. Until it isn't.

Currently editing. Things will be changed! Seventeen-year-old Mia Johnson has an uncanny talent for reading people. From the smallest details-a flicker of hesitation, a nervous habit-she can tell who someone is and what they want. It's a gift she's never taken seriously, more instinct than skill, until she meets Lucy Chen-a woman who offers Mia a place to stay and just happens to be a police officer. As trust slowly builds, Mia is drawn into a world where her abilities actually matter. Alongside her other gifted friends, she begins helping Lucy solve cases-cases that hit far too close to home. Including the murder of Mia's parents, a crime that went cold a year after their deaths. What Mia doesn't realize is that reopening the case puts far more at risk than answers. Especially when she brings her friends into it. As pieces fall into place, it becomes clear that her parents' murder was more than a simple break-in-and when the killer strikes again, the danger turns personal. Now trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Mia and her friends must rely on every ounce of their abilities to uncover the truth... and survive long enough to see it.
