Aaron by Susie McIver

He’s the weapon they send when the world is about to burn.

She’s the mind that knows how to stop it.

Aaron Cole has spent his life operating in the shadows. As one of Delta Five’s most lethal operatives, he’s trained to eliminate threats, not get emotionally involved. Missions are simple: identify the enemy, neutralize the danger, walk away.

Then he meets Dr. Lark London.

Brilliant. Fearless. And currently the most hunted woman on the planet.

Lark holds the key to exposing a powerful global network capable of collapsing governments and destroying thousands of lives. The problem? The same people she’s trying to stop will kill anyone who helps her.

Including Aaron.

Assigned to protect her, Aaron quickly learns Lark isn’t someone who hides behind armed guards. She’s stubborn, dangerously intelligent, and determined to finish what she started—even if it costs her life.

But the closer they get to the truth, the more the danger escalates.

Now they’re racing across continents, hunted by enemies who never miss and betrayed by systems meant to protect them.

And somewhere between the firefights and impossible choices, the one rule Aaron never breaks shatters completely.

Because protecting Lark was the mission.

Falling for her was the mistake that could get them both killed.

But if the world thinks Aaron Cole will walk away and let her face this fight alone…

They have no idea who they’re dealing with.
