She thought her past was buried. She was wrong.

When Alex Mason inherits a vineyard in California’s Napa Valley, it should be a fresh start—a rare moment of peace. He asks Gallin to join him, hoping to leave the chaos behind.

But Gallin doesn’t get fresh starts.

A former IDF captain and Mossad katsa, she’s spent years eliminating some of the world’s most dangerous threats—and making enemies across the globe. Enemies who have finally found her.

Now they’re coming.

Off the books. Off the grid. Even Mossad and ODIN won’t touch this one. For Gallin, this isn’t just another mission—it’s personal. And the only way to survive is to strike first.

But the hunters closing in on her aren’t just after revenge.

They’re planning something far bigger.

Something that could destabilize the West itself.

To stop them, Gallin will need help—whether she wants it or not.

She needs Mason.

And Mason is about to learn that loving a spy can be the most dangerous mission of all.
