In espionage, weakness kills. In love, silence destroys.
GSM director Gravis Denaley has spent his life mastering control. As one of the galaxy’s most powerful intelligence chiefs—and a man with formidable magical abilities—he is accustomed to seeing danger coming and knowing exactly how to handle it.
Victra Loomis is the exception.
When sophisticated weapons begin appearing on the black markets of Astua, GSM traces them to stolen technology being funneled from a respected research company toward Groteria and its ruthless dictator. Gravis sends Victra, an elite Ensullian operative, inside to uncover the source and stop the pipeline.
It should be another GSM operation.
Instead, the mission forces Gravis to confront feelings for Victra he has spent far too long refusing to acknowledge. His attempts to keep their relationship professional only drive them further apart, and when his judgment begins affecting both the woman he loves and the operation he is supposed to control, the consequences become impossible to ignore.
With dangerous technology changing hands, hidden loyalties inside the investigation, and enemies willing to kill to protect their secrets, GSM must uncover the truth before the weapons disappear beyond their reach.
For Gravis, however, solving the case may prove easier than admitting the truth about himself.
Dirtied Waters is an intergalactic espionage adventure blending covert operations, magic, danger, and a complicated romance between two people who have spent far too long avoiding what they mean to each other.
