Admiral Hollace Kilbride is known for many things.
His sharp mind.
His brutal honesty.
And the long list of enemies he has made throughout his military career.
But there is one thing no one knows.
A secret he has protected for decades.
His daughter.
Dr. Alexandra Eliza Kilbride built her life far away from the dangerous world her father lives in. She works as a forensic pathologist in Los Angeles, spending her days in the quiet halls of the morgue instead of the chaos of investigations and covert operations.
To everyone else, Admiral Kilbride is a hardened leader who trusts no one.
But to Alexandra, he is simply Daddy.
When Alexandra decides to surprise her father at the NCIS Office of Special Projects, things go very wrong.
The team mistakes her for an intruder.
And arrests her.
What follows is an awkward revelation that leaves the entire team stunned.
Now the secret daughter of the most intimidating man in the building has been discovered.
As Alexandra slowly becomes involved in the team's cases through her work at the morgue, the agents begin to realize she is far more capable than they expected.
Especially G. Callen, who finds himself drawn to the calm, guarded doctor with sharp instincts and a mysterious past.
But secrets have a way of attracting danger.
And when enemies from Admiral Kilbride's past discover he has a daughter, Alexandra becomes a target in a world she was never meant to enter.
A slow-burn story of secrets, trust, danger, and unexpected love.
