Simon "Ghost" Riley is friendly enough. He's a killing machine, one of the primary members of Task Force 141. He takes pride in who he is and what he does, and loves a good challenge. When someone comes into his life that's a little too challenging, well... he doesn't like it.

Ivy Cavanaugh is strong-willed and smart. As a cyber-security professional, she's placed with one of the most intimidating teams: Task Force 141, in order to impact their success in the field. Some may say she's stiff and unfeeling, but she doesn't like when people swerve into her lane. Certainly not when they're a cocky special forces operator.

The two meet, and despite Ghost's best efforts, clash. Can they work things out, or will it be tense forever?

54 parts Ongoing Mature
Adira Blair, known as Rival, is a woman who can handle her own without a thing being handed to her. She learned that her skills and personality could be used to her advantage, although, even in a practically male dominated industry, she was still deadly to the most dangerous terrorists in the country. But It came to Rival as a surprise that when you get transferred from over 5 bases because of your uncontrollable anger towards your male teammates, it's rather hard to get accepted back into the industry. Somehow, she gets accepted into the 141 task force by a man who goes by the name of Captain John Price, who sent over a dozen emails to contact her When she arrives to the 141 base where the five men stay, Ghost, a 6'4 easily agitated, lighted fuse like man catches her eye. It seems most are scared of him, but she soon finds out who he is and that she relates to him with things she wished she didn't. It all went well until their attitudes together were like a growing fire that you had no way to put out. The tension that spread like wildfire was a danger to them, and everyone who dared to get close. Before 141, She rose up through the ranks like it was easy. So much, she caught the attention of the best special ops divisions all over the country. She was named the deadliest soldier in every unit she had ever entered, and everyone wanted her. But God forbid whoever tried to fuck with her. • • • WARNING: THIS BOOK MAY BE TRIGGERING FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE.

Rediscovering Love

3 parts Ongoing Mature

Pain. Grief. Betrayal. Heartbreak. That's all you've ever known and experienced in life. No matter how hard you tried, people always took advantage of you. Betrayed you. Broke your trust. Treated you like complete trash. Your parents never support you either. Your siblings hate you and are spoiled. They are your parents prized possession. It's as if the universe is against you for no reason. It has been your entire life. Even through school. No one genuinely liked or cared about you. You were the quiet kid who was easily taken advantage of. Your first boyfriend wasn't even genuine. He used you for your body. You didn't believe in love or trust. Immediately after you graduated from highschool, you enrolled into the military and learned it was exactly what you needed. No need to make friends, and you could keep to yourself. That was, until you were assigned to Task Force 141. You weren't the happiest about it, but you had no intention of doing anything but your job when joining this new team. That is, until you meet a man who changes your life completely in a matter of months after joining the team. Will you accept him? Or will you continue to be alone?
