Black Tide

Seven years ago, Kian Ashford disappeared.

No goodbye. No explanation. No way back.

One day he was Maya Sterling's best friend-the boy who knew all her secrets, made impossible promises, and swore he would always come back. The next, he was gone.

Now, at twenty-one, Maya is one of the most respected agents in the organization that raised her. She's learned to trust no one, depend on no one, and bury the ghosts of her past where they belong.

Then Kian returns.

Older. Harder. More dangerous than the boy she remembers.

And carrying secrets that could destroy everything.

When Commander Nadia Vance assigns them to a classified mission known only as Operation Black Tide, Maya is forced to work alongside the one person she never wanted to see again.

But Black Tide isn't just another mission.

It's a trail of buried lies, missing files, and dangerous truths connected to Kian's disappearance-and the mysterious mission that killed Maya's parents years ago.

As enemies close in and old wounds reopen, Maya and Kian find themselves trapped between the past they can't escape and a truth someone is willing to kill to keep hidden.

Because some secrets were never meant to surface.

And some promises refuse to stay buried.
