Nell Gallows is the sole survivor of elite dark forces squad Riøt. Now she's the top candidate for Malum - the squad that goes where no one else will. There's just one problem: Malum blames their casualty from the Patagonia mission on Riøt. So when she finds herself on a plane to California and a sure death sentence, she does the only sensible thing. A one-night stand.

Except the man she chose is Bones - her new superior, untouchable devil in the field, and the one person who hates her most. When their mission goes wrong and he can't reach the evac point, she makes the reckless choice to stay. Now they only have each other - and the secrets he's been keeping.

Why readers can't put it down:

• 🖤 A one-night stand that becomes the most dangerous mistake of her career
• ⚔️ Enemies-to-lovers tension so thick you could cut it with a combat knife
• ✨ Spec ops action, forced proximity, and a hero who is genuinely hell on earth
• 🔥 Biting dark romance with romantic suspense that never lets up
