Fallen Hero (Downrange Book 2)

Former Navy SEAL Mason Hughes has guarded his heart since a past betrayal, relying on strict emotional control during dangerous missions. A high-stakes operation in Dubai forces him to confront Calista Ventura, a woman driven by her own mission for vengeance. Calista views Mason as a distraction she cannot afford, yet their separate objectives become intertwined when she depends on his combat expertise for survival. While working to dismantle an international trafficking ring, the attraction between them intensifies. Mason's instinct to protect clashes with Calista's independence, and in their world of hidden threats and formidable adversaries, misplaced trust can prove deadly. When Calista's past resurfaces, both must confront whether pursuing a relationship is worth the risk to everything they have fought to preserve.
