Code Compromised

She holds a secret powerful men will kill for.

He disappeared twelve years ago without a trace.

Now fate has brought them back together… if they survive long enough for a second chance.

Delaney Morrison never truly forgot her childhood friend, even after he vanished at seventeen without so much as a goodbye.

Now, after stumbling into a brutal murder and a stolen medical breakthrough, Delaney finds herself hunted by people willing to silence anyone who gets too close to the truth.

Then, in her darkest hour and in the most unexpected place, Callan Rook steps back into her life.

Desperate and running out of options, Delaney turns to the last man she ever expected to see again.

As a covert operative bound by a strict code of non-interference, Callan has spent years watching the world from the shadows, trained to observe… never act. But when Delaney appears in the middle of an undercover mission, terrified, vulnerable, and marked for death, staying detached becomes impossible.

Now they’re running for their lives while a shadow network closes in around them.

When Delaney’s brother disappears along with a young girl caught in the crossfire, the danger turns deeply personal.

Forced to rely on each other while old wounds resurface and buried feelings reignite, Delaney and Callan must decide if trust is worth the risk… and whether the connection they once shared survived the years between them.

Because staying in the shadows was safe…

until doing so threatened to cost him the only woman he’d ever loved.

Emotionally rich romantic suspense with mild language and no explicit scenes
