When former Marine Captain Emily Holmes joins NCIS, she expects a new beginning - not a return to the battlefield she thought she'd left behind.
Brilliant, controlled and unnervingly perceptive, Emily sees patterns no one else does. Crime scenes unfold in her mind with surgical clarity. Motives snap into place. Lies unravel. And every time she's right - which is often - Leroy Jethro Gibbs hates it just a little bit more.
He doesn't trust easily.
He doesn't like surprises.
And Emily Holmes is both.
From case to case, Emily's instincts cut through chaos with frightening precision. Her military past gives her an edge the team can't ignore - and a darkness she refuses to explain. While Tony tries to decode her secrets, Kate begins to see the woman behind the discipline and McGee quietly admires the mind that never stops working.
But Emily's greatest challenge are.n't the cases. It's the man leading the team.
Gibbs sees too much. Emily hides too well. And the truth between them is a fuse waiting to be lit.
In a world where every clue is a threat and every agent carries scars, Emily Holmes must learn that survival isn't the same as belonging - and that some battles follow you home.

A Reacher's Heart, A Son's Soul
War teaches a person to survive. Family teaches a person to stay alive. But love - love demands a fight you never expected to wage. Priscilla "Cilla" Reacher didn't plan on stopping in Charming. She rarely planned anything once she left the Army MPs - not when routine meant returning to the nightmares she'd worked years to drown. Like her brother, Jack, she preferred to keep moving, keep breathing, and never let anyone get close enough to become a weakness. Charming was supposed to be a short pause - a town with cheap rent, quiet streets, and enough distance from her past to let her sleep through the night. But Charming... has a way of pulling people in. Filip "Chibs" Telford didn't expect her either. The Sons' hardened Sergeant-at-Arms had long ago learned that attachments were liabilities - and love, a luxury people like him rarely survived. Yet Cilla walks into his world like she belongs in it - sharp-eyed, scarred, and stubborn as hell. He sees the soldier still inside her. She sees the man beneath the leather. Their connection is instant, magnetic - and dangerous. SAMCRO thrives on loyalty and blood, on lines drawn in violence and blurred by brotherhood. Cilla isn't built to follow rules she didn't make... and Chibs isn't the kind of man who lets go once he cares. Every step closer ties her deeper to a world she swore she'd never join. And when threats rise - old enemies from the club and ghosts from Cilla's past - she realizes the worst battle she'll ever face isn't on a battlefield, but in her own heart. Because love, real love, means staying. And Reachers don't stay. Not until they find something - someone - worth staying for.
