Forbidden Intel
Elena Mercer, a top CIA analyst, has always operated in the shadows-unraveling codes, decrypting messages, and identifying threats before they strike. But when she stumbles upon classified intel exposing a high-ranking double agent within her own agency, she becomes a target. Someone powerful wants her silenced, and fast. Ronan Drake, a ruthless MI6 field operative who has been tasked with retrieving that very intel-at any cost. To him, Elena is a liability, a loose end that needs tying up. But when their paths collide in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Ronan realizes she's not the enemy he expected. She's something far more dangerous: the only person who can uncover the truth...and the only one who can bring him to his knees. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Elena and Ronan must navigate a world of betrayal, shifting loyalties, and undeniable attraction. As they race across continents, dodging assassins and their own agencies, the line between duty and desire blurs. Their countries have made them enemies, but their hearts have other plans. With time running out and a conspiracy that could topple governments closing in, they must make an impossible choice: betray their countries or betray each other.
