As bodies pile up, including Cooper’s best friends, high-level cabinet members, and foreign operatives, Sawyer’s military skills and relentless determination make her both a target and a weapon.
She watched her mother die. Then she was taken by the man who ordered it—her own father, cartel kingpin Xavier Alvarez.

But when a former soldier named Ryker reappears, revenge gets complicated—and the cost of retribution turns deadly. Because when her father discovers who Shadow really is… he won’t just come for her. He’ll come for everyone she protects.
