In the new GhostWalker novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Viper Game, a trained killer meets his match in a woman whose very kiss can stop a heart.

The Cajun dive in the middle of the godforsaken swamps wasn’t exactly Trap Dawkins’ idea of fun. But the GhostWalker wasn’t there for a good time. He was looking for her. Cayenne. It’s where she found her victims. Poor suckers. Then again, who wouldn’t want to leave a place like this with a woman like her?

It’s not Cayenne’s fault. Locked up, experimented on and never knowing kindness, she was bred this way — with a heart of pure venom. Trap understands her. He survived his own dark past and he shares her desire for getting even. But now Trap’s greatest danger is Cayenne herself. Because what’s inside her is hard to control — especially when it’s aroused by a lover as reckless as Trap.

The series

Full series details →

In a world where the line between science and sorcery blurs, a covert experiment has given rise to a breed of enhanced warriors—psychically gifted, physically augmented, and utterly lethal. They are not just weapons; they are men and women with fractured pasts, uncertain futures, and the kind of powers that turn even allies into threats.

Read full series description

The GhostWalker series doesn’t play by the rules of traditional paranormal romance. Instead, it stalks through shadowed corridors of military labs, clandestine missions, and the raw intimacy of connections forged under fire. With each installment, the story plunges deeper into a reality where emotion is both weapon and weakness, and love is as dangerous as any enemy.

What makes this series resonate isn’t just the thrill of psychic warfare or the relentless pace of tactical suspense—it’s the emotional gravity. These are characters shaped by trauma, engineered for control, yet constantly reaching for something human in a world that sees them as tools. The atmosphere hums with tension, where quiet moments pulse with danger and every romance is underscored by high stakes and hard choices.

Romantic suspense, military intrigue, and the eerie pull of psychic phenomena all converge in a world where nothing is accidental—not even desire. Each pairing brings something unexpected: a healer with hidden scars, a sniper haunted by voices, a soldier who can kill with a thought but longs to protect.

Longtime readers of dark, emotionally complex thrillers will find themselves hooked by the slow-burn intensity, while fans of action-packed paranormal fiction will be drawn to the meticulously crafted missions and rich world-building. This is a series that doesn't just entertain—it leaves a mark, lingering like a whisper in the mind long after the last page.

Step into the shadows. The hunt has already begun.
