Five years ago, cryptologist Elara Voss vanished into the wilderness, burying the secrets that destroyed her career-and nearly her life.
But secrets don't stay buried.
When a former black-ops agent shows up on her doorstep with a warning and a file of surveillance photos, Elara is forced out of hiding. Someone has unearthed the Mirror Protocol-a classified project Elara was once coerced into building. A project powerful enough to topple governments.
Now, Elara must return to a world of lies, betrayal, and dangerous alliances. Shadowed by Killian Rhys-a man with too many secrets and a smile that cuts like a knife-she begins a journey across continents, decoding the past while being hunted by the very agency that created her.
But as the conspiracy deepens, so does the pull between enemies bound by survival. And when the truth finally surfaces, Elara will face a choice: expose the world's darkest secret, or become it.

As bodies continue to drop, Elara forms an uneasy alliance with Marcus Reed, a CIA operative with his own agenda. Together, they follow a trail of breadcrumbs through the underbelly of post-Soviet Europe-Prague's hidden networks, Istanbul's shadowy markets, and Moscow's frozen secrets. But with each revelation comes a new question: Why do her recurring nightmares feel connected to this mission? What connects these victims beyond their intelligence backgrounds? And why does the trail of evidence keep circling back to a classified Soviet program called "Prometheus"?

Ashes of the Vow
An assassin with secrets. A man with scars. Love was never supposed to be part of the deal. "We can't," he said, his voice rough but final. The rejection was a physical blow. Humiliation, hot and sharp, washed over me, followed immediately by a fury so intense it blurred my vision. I released his jacket like it was on fire, snatching my hand back from his chest. Of course. Of course. I shoved open the van door, the metal screeching in protest. I practically fell out into the garage, needing to put distance between us, needing to breathe air he hadn't just stolen from my lungs. "Thorn-" he began, his voice following me out. I spun around, cutting him off. The words came out laced with a venom I didn't entirely feel, a weapon to match the hurt. "Don't. Just... don't." I was furious. Furious at him for starting it. Furious at him for stopping. But most of all, I was furious at myself. Furious for wanting it. For leaning in. For letting him make me feel, for one stupid second, like I was cared for. When Thorn-an elite assassin with too many secrets-collapses on the doorstep of Ash Penbrook, she expects death, not rescue. Ash is a powerful businessman with his own scars and a vendetta against the same organization Thorn once served. Forced into an uneasy alliance, their world becomes a battlefield of ambushes, betrayals, and buried truths. Survival draws them closer, but trust is dangerous-and love even more so. As enemies close in, both must decide: are they each other's salvation...or the final weapon that will destroy them?
