Her's to Defend

The Chained Hearts Duology: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Bringing Riley home should have been the end of it. Instead, it's only the beginning.

When Riley is captured during a mission gone wrong, Liz refuses to believe he’s lost. But fear is a powerful thing when the clock is running out. Getting him back means defying orders, trusting her instincts, and stepping fully into a war she was never meant to survive.

As he recovers, fractures within their command begin to surface. Missions fail. Intel leaks. And it becomes terrifyingly clear that the danger isn’t just coming from the enemy they can see, but from someone inside their own ranks who wants the entire team erased.

Forced into hiding and branded as AWOL, Liz and Riley must navigate betrayal, forge alliances, and fight to stop the man hunting them. With the truth buried deep and time running out, they’ll have to decide how far they’re willing to go to protect each other, and what it will cost to finally bring the enemy down.
