A brilliant but guarded 22-year-old operative codenamed Shadow joins Task Force 141 to hunt Vladimir Makarov. Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley instantly distrusts her. Too young, too confident, too much of a wildcard who somehow outranks him.
What begins as icy hostility and sharp clashes slowly ignites into something far more dangerous: raw attraction neither can ignore. Tense training sessions, charged rooftop encounters, and stolen moments push them closer-until the mission goes catastrophically wrong.
Makarov doesn't just want the 141 eliminated.
He wants his "little shadow" back-the child he stole, shaped, and broke years ago.
Captured and tortured, Shadow is rescued, but the damage is done. Trust shatters. Secrets spill. Ghost, haunted by what he's learned and what he almost lost, becomes fiercely protective.
In the end, it's Shadow who faces her past head-on.
With Ghost at her side, she reclaims her freedom-and perhaps something more.
A dark, slow-burn military romance of distrust turning to obsession, trauma, revenge, and fragile healing within the 141.
