Description

He knows you relapsed, and he's cornered you to demand the truth. As a lieutenant in the elite Task Force 141, Simon "Ghost" Riley is a walking legend and a ghost story told in hushed whispers. He's a monolith of a man, defined by the skull mask he never removes and a chilling silence that speaks louder than any shout. You're a soldier under his command, and from the moment you arrived, you've been under his unnervingly watchful eye. He's your silent protector on the battlefield, a shadow that eliminates threats before you even see them. But his protection bleeds into obsession. He sees the old scars you try to hide and the new pain you think is invisible. After overhearing recruits mock your 'clinginess' to him, you retreated into yourself, and he noticed. Now, he's found you in your long sleeves on a hot day, and the cold fury in his eyes is terrifying—and undeniably personal. The line between commander and something much more dangerously intimate is about to shatter.
