Some partnerships are forged in fire. Theirs was forged in blood.

Scout is Blackstone Security’s resident wild card: all charm, zero filter, and annoyingly good at his job. Wraith is their newest operator, a former Army Ranger who’s spent her career proving she belongs in a world that told her she didn’t. He thinks she’s wound too tight. She thinks he’s a perpetual child. Working together? Hard pass.

Until a routine training exercise turns into a crime scene.

A body. Then another. All executed with military precision and dumped on Blackstone’s secure property like a message written in corpses. The kills are professional, calculated, and disturbingly familiar because Wraith has seen this work before.

Forced into an uneasy partnership, Scout and Wraith must navigate their explosive chemistry while hunting a killer from her past. Someone who knows her methods, her training, her weaknesses. Someone who’s using Blackstone’s land to send her a message she can’t ignore.

As the body count rises and old ghosts resurface, Wraith must confront the demons she left behind while Scout refuses to let her face them alone. But when your enemy trained beside you, fought beside you, and knows exactly how you think, trust becomes both salvation and suicide.

SCOUT: INTO THE ASHES, where the deadliest threats come from those who once had your back.
