He finds people who don’t want to be found. She knows the land that hides them.
Lochlan Lowe has spent his career tracking people through terrain that would stop most operators cold. Former Special Forces, built for pursuit and recovery, he’s the person Shadow Ops sends when someone vanishes. His latest target: a critical witness who disappeared into the backcountry outside Blossom Springs—someone who holds information that could identify the mole inside the federal government protecting an international pipeline.
Cassie Davis is a wildlife biologist who knows every trail, waterway, and hidden acre surrounding Blossom Springs. She’s noticed things over the years—unusual traffic patterns, staging areas that don’t match any legitimate use, routes through protected land that shouldn’t exist. She never understood what they meant. Now a man with a military bearing and no patience for small talk is asking her to guide him through terrain she considers hers.
Cassie isn’t impressed by credentials. Lochlan isn’t used to needing anyone’s help. The pursuit takes them deeper into dangerous territory—and closer to each other—than either expected.
In Blossom Springs, the most dangerous ground isn’t on any map.
