She dismantles threats in the dark. He drags them into the light.
Stephanie Riley has spent her career in places most people will never know exist, doing work that will never be acknowledged. A former intelligence officer with deep overseas experience, she’s the final operative recruited to Shadow Ops—the one built to dismantle an international pipeline that has survived every attempt to shut it down. She understands foreign networks, diplomatic walls, and the cost of decisions made in shadows.
Jackson Mura is a foreign correspondent who’s reported from the same regions Stephanie once operated in. They may have crossed paths without knowing it. Now he’s in Blossom Springs, following a source’s tip toward a story he can’t quite see—a story that intersects with the very operation Stephanie is trying to end quietly.
Jackson wants the truth published. Stephanie needs it buried. His principles and her mission are on a collision course, and the pipeline they’re both closing in on has no interest in letting either of them survive the final chapter.
In Blossom Springs, every secret has an expiration date. This one’s arrived.
