To Love a Ghost

By HELICON EDITORES

Investigative journalist Mara Quinn hates offline meets-until a whistleblower staggers into a Seattle parking garage bleeding out and shoves a black drive into her hands. One phrase follows her into the dark: "Whiteout Protocol." Seconds later, the source is executed... and Mara becomes the next target.

The system meant to protect her is already compromised, so the DA assigns a private close-protection specialist: Luke Hayes-cold, controlled, and willing to destroy her phone with a hammer to keep her alive. Mara wants answers. Luke wants compliance. Neither of them gets what they want.

A failed extraction, a blizzard, and a remote safe house force them into tight proximity while killers close in and secrets rot from the inside out. The deeper Mara digs into Whiteout, the more brutal the stakes become: this isn't just corruption-it's manufactured crises, a hidden backup site in the mountains, and a countdown to a total wipe that will erase the truth forever.

To survive, they'll have to do the one thing they both hate: trust. And when Luke's past finally catches up with them, Mara must decide what's deadlier-falling for the man protecting her... or believing he's just another weapon in the same machine.
