Deception

Shiera Whitelock is no stranger to war. As a cunning operative forced to infiltrate enemy lines, her heart belongs to two things: the resistance she's sworn to protect and the daughter she left behind in a world of betrayal and bloodshed. But survival means sacrifice, and Shiera has mastered the art of playing a role. Until her next assignment places her under the command of Levi Ackerman-the man whose unwavering discipline and ice-cold stare could unearth secrets she's fought to bury.

Captain Levi Ackerman has seen it all: recruits broken by the weight of war, comrades lost to the enemy, and the cruel dance of politics within their ranks. When Shiera joins his elite squad, he's immediately suspicious of her sharp mind and the fire in her hazel eyes. But there's something about her defiance-something about her scars-that tugs at the edges of his carefully guarded walls.

As a deadly mission is thrusted upon Shiera, Levi and her are forced to rely on each other. Tension burns hotter with every encounter, as animosity twists into respect and resentment gives way to a desire neither can ignore.
