Codename: Red Wine

By Vel Knight

In the candlelit salons of Venice, cryptographer Lena Hart is sent undercover to get close to a man who is quietly engineering the next global crisis. Her mission is simple: gather proof before he can trigger cascading bank failures, port shutdowns, and engineered panic across Europe.

Then the shooting starts.

Adrian Voss - cold, lethal, and Octavian Rusk's most trusted operative - pulls her out of the line of fire. What begins as a dangerous alliance quickly becomes something far more intimate. Forced into hiding together, hunted by intelligence agencies on both sides, Lena and Adrian must navigate a web of betrayals, encrypted secrets, and a conspiracy that reaches deeper than either of them imagined.

As the nights grow longer and the stakes turn lethal, the line between strategy and desire disappears. Every touch is a risk. Every secret shared could get them killed. And the only thing more dangerous than trusting Adrian Voss... is wanting him.

A sophisticated, high-heat romantic suspense about a brilliant woman who has spent her life decoding everyone else's lies - and the one man who makes her want to burn the rulebook.
