Sergeant First Class Mike Irons is always in control-
on the mission, in the field, and with his heart.
Until her.
Catalina Mandas is sharp, stunning, and impossible to forget.
Their chemistry burns fast-but she's hiding something.
His instincts say dig deeper, and what he finds, he can't unsee-
Guilt.
Betrayal.
A past she can't escape.
She swore she left it all behind, but some secrets refuse to stay buried, and some ghosts can't stay silent.
Caught between duty and love, the truth threatens to drag them both under-
because the woman he's falling for might be at the center of his next op.
This is where trust is tested.
And where Blackstone risks everything for freedom.
