In a world where soulmates are marked by an invisible bond, Simon "Ghost" Riley refuses to believe he has one. Buried beneath masks, gloves, and layers of armor, he keeps the world - and the bond - at bay. To let it in would mean vulnerability, and that's a risk Ghost won't take.
Cassandra "Reaper" Price, daughter of Captain John Price, has never doubted the existence of soulmates. She carries the belief quietly, knowing that someday, somewhere, she'll find the one tethered to her soul - even if it's in the middle of a battlefield.
When Task Force 141 crosses paths with her, tensions ignite. Reaper is everything Ghost hates - loud where he's silent, daring where he's guarded, and worst of all... familiar in a way he can't explain. As proximity sharpens the edge between them, neither can deny the bond pulling tighter, the ache that deepens with every fight, every glare, every touch.
But soulmates aren't always meant to heal - sometimes, they ruin. And Ghost is convinced that's all he's ever been good for.

The unshakable feel of adventure always wracked through your bones as though you were meant to face danger. Barely dodging death, you never quite lost your daring, only suppressing it to save Forks from your terror.
Cue, the arrival of the Cullens. You hoped the Nice-Vegan-Vampire Family down the block didn't mind a bit of blood on their doorsteps.
Unfortunately for you, the Debatably-Mean, Definitely-Not-Vegan Ones certainly had.
