ZERO: Vesper Protocol

Mikhara Vesper has survived every mission because she never lets anyone matter.

Known as Zero, she is Aegis AIB's sharpest weapon-clever, fearless, and dangerously good at getting under people's skin. Her newest assignment should be simple: keep Aiahriel Fairfax alive long enough to uncover why someone wants the wealthy heiress erased.

Aiahriel has always lived under the protection of the Fairfax name, but no amount of money can prepare her for gunfire in quiet hallways, betrayals behind diplomatic smiles, or the woman assigned to guard her. Mikhara is arrogant, reckless, and impossible to read. She is also the only person Aiahriel can trust when the world around her begins to collapse.

Forced together across glittering galas, snow-covered cities, and dangerous international secrets, Mikhara and Aiahriel begin to cross lines neither of them can take back.

Zero was trained to choose the mission over everything.

Aiahriel may become the one exception that destroys her.
