The Patriot by Jack Flynn

I came to Charleston for a story. One that smelled like danger and cover-ups and power stretching all the way back to Dominion Hall. I thought I was ready for whatever I found.
I didn’t expect him.
Levi Dane.
A ghost from my past.
The soldier who once shut a door in my face and derailed my career in the process.
The man I swore I’d never speak to again.
Now, he’s more dangerous than ever—colder, harder, wrapped in the kind of quiet power that makes this whole city bow. And when our eyes collide across a crowded room, I know one terrible truth:
He remembers me.
And he’s not letting me walk away this time.
I should run.
I won’t.
Because once he sets his sights on me, there’s only one ending.
