It's fight or flight in this sultry, suspenseful GhostWalker novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.

Gideon "Eagle" Carpenter is used to rolling with the punches life has thrown at him. It's the only thing that's kept him alive. He and his team of GhostWalkers have seen and experienced it all. He does his best to live with all the sins written on his soul. Then he hears the laughter of a woman with the ability to erase--even for a few previous moments--the darkness of his past.

Laurel "Rory" Chappel has always been a nomad. She's accustomed to taking care of herself, despite the physical challenges she lives with. She thinks she's too weak to find real love, but that doesn't stop her interest in Gideon from turning into a full-on addiction. He's all rough edges and danger contrasted with a tenderness that makes her feel safe. Still, after a life spent in motion, she's not sure she knows how to stay in one place.

Gideon hopes he can persuade Rory to take a chance on him with every electric touch. But soon, life conspires against him, forcing the GhostWalker to risk everything to protect the woman he loves....

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.
