I’ve always believed in chasing the truth. I never expected it to chase me back—with a loaded gun and a body count.

My young mentee’s murder left me with nothing but rage and a need for answers. My search for justice led me straight into the line of fire—and into the arms of a man called Ghost.

His name fits. He’s silent, lethal, and impossible to pin down. He says I’m reckless. I say he’s infuriating.

But Ghost doesn’t just come with his own agenda. He comes with heat that scorches through my carefully built walls and a team that plays by rules I didn’t know existed.

I don’t trust him. Not his secrets. Not his steel-gray eyes. And definitely not the way my pulse races when he’s near.

He says he's protecting me. But Ghost is just as dangerous as the enemies closing in—and if I’m not careful, he might break my heart before they can pull the trigger.

It's like Twisted Games meets The Night Manager with the dark obsession of The Sweetest Oblivion.

In a world where mercenaries thrive in the shadows, love is the deadliest risk of all. Boundaries blur, alliances shatter, and protection turns possessive. The men of the Nightfall Syndicate will break your heart... and make you beg for more. Don't wait, scroll up and one-click now!
