Echoes of the Phantom
Katya "Fantóm" Makarov was born in the shadow of war - sister to Vladimir Makarov, raised to be his deadliest weapon. A phantom in the dark, her name haunted battlefields, whispered among soldiers who prayed they'd never see her face. Bound by blood and debt, Katya followed orders without question - until one contract put her on a collision course with Task Force 141 and the KORTAC teams. Captured. Cornered. Caged. But captivity brings clarity. Haunted by the lives she's taken and the legacy her brother drags behind him, Katya is offered a choice: rot in her cell, or help destroy the monster that made her. She chooses to fight - but loyalty is a battlefield of its own, and the lines blur further when she crosses paths with Colonel König of KORTAC. A soldier veiled in his own darkness, König sees beyond her mask - to the woman trapped beneath the blood and shadows. As alliances shift and war draws closer, Katya must navigate treacherous ground between family, enemies, and the one man who might just make her believe she's more than the phantom her brother forged. Because ghosts run from nothing. But phantoms? They finally decide what - and who - is worth haunting.

Angels Defend Us
Shepard's Watch Series: Book One A raging inferno at the Kremlin Armory, an Orthodox priest found murdered in his own church, and a series of mysterious bombings in Eastern Europe brings the American intelligence community to a sobering realization: someone is trying to start a war. As tensions in the region escalate, Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR) assembles a task force and gives one its most decorated Special Forces officers, Maj. Jay Shepard, a simple mission: find the parties behind this madness and do whatever it takes to stop them. It all starts wrong, and as the CIA, the newly formed Defense Clandestine Service, and the FBI all activate assets in support, a host of foreign intelligence services and the ever-present rivalries inside the U.S. government services threaten to derail the mission before it ever leaves the station. As Shepard's handlers hoped he would, he takes his operation off grid, reaching out to a reclusive billionaire with some very dark family secrets and a private army that's been implicated in dozens of black market arms deals. The more the Task Force succeeds, the more awkward the revelations become for the federal agencies pulled into the public scandals and congressional hearings back home. Worse, Shepard's team uncovers disturbing evidence related to an intelligence leak threatening national security networks. When his Task Force is recalled in order to be disbanded, Shepard is forced to choose between his chain of command and the oath he took to protect his country. He's been a tactical savant most of his life, confounding and frustrating even the most brilliant war planners with his ability to defy the odds: now he's been sanctioned as an enemy of the state. Betrayed by the people he served and hunted by the men he trained, Shepard now has to decide exactly how far he'll go and who he'll cross in order to complete his mission.
