Home of the Brave

Actress Kit Lord has maintained a carefully constructed public image for fifteen years. When a deepfake video surfaces showing her saying things she never said, her career begins to unravel. She flees to small-town Tennessee to hide while the fabricated content spreads. Code, a former Army cyber security expert, came to Jasper Creek seeking peace after two decades working against cyber terrorists. When his cousin arrives with Kit and her crisis, Code's instincts pull him back into action. He recognizes Kit as more than her public persona—he sees Katherine, the person beneath the actress. As Code investigates, he discovers the deepfake attack is part of a larger operation designed to weaponize false information against multiple targets. Someone is using advanced technology to make truth impossible to verify. Code must return to the fight he thought he'd left behind to protect the one real thing he's found. The story combines elements of celebrity in hiding, small-town romance, and cyber thriller suspense, with steamy scenes throughout.
