Phantom. Skilled, deadly, and always one step ahead. She's everything I despise in a soldier-cold, calculating, and elusive. The second she transferred from KorTac to Task Force 141, I knew trouble was coming. Loyalty to the team is everything, but her history with the opposition? That's a betrayal I can't ignore.
I've seen her in action-damn good at what she does, probably better than most of us. She never flinches in the face of danger and is far too good at vanishing when you need to catch her. Every time I think I've cornered her, she slips away, and it reminds me of how Soap got his call sign: always managing to slip through the chaos.
But she is not Soap, and I'm not letting her get away. We're supposed to be allies now, but I can't shake the feeling that she's still playing both sides. Yet... there's something about her that draws me in, even when I want to hate her. Every mission we share puts us deeper into danger, and somehow... I'm finding it harder to stay away. The last thing I need is to be tangled up in feelings for a woman who may still be loyal to the other side. But with every passing day, the line between enemy and ally blurs-and the heat between us grows stronger.
Phantom's Heart, Ghost's Command is an electrifying enemies-to-lovers military romance where trust is earned in the trenches, and betrayal ignites a fire neither can ignore.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
*****
Claire Olsen has had a crush on Zion Petrakis since the first time she laid eyes on him, but he never noticed, instead only having eyes on the school's it girl, Maddie Jennings. Knowing she couldn't compete with Maddie, Claire hid her feelings for Zion, satisfied with admiring him from afar. However, when a series of events led Claire closer to Zion, her feelings for him grew from infatuation to love. And despite fighting hard to keep her feelings contained by distancing herself from Zion, he was determined to show her that he's earned a spot in her life.
