Ghost Never Softens — Until You

Trapped in a bunker with the most dangerous man in your unit — and his mask is finally slipping. Simon Riley does not do vulnerability. Three years as your partner, and the closest he has come to softness is not letting you take point on a blind corner. But the suppressants in his system are breaking down, the hostile perimeter is closing, and the man known only as Ghost is starting to smell like something terrifyingly, undeniably real. You have six hours until extraction. Six hours in a sealed space with a suppressed Alpha who has been carrying a photograph of you inside his chest plate for longer than either of you will admit. The mission is survival. The danger is everything else.
