Two seasoned operatives finally meet their match: each other. Cillian works for the mysterious Special Branch 20: an organization that runs black ops commissioned by the British government. His specialty is deep undercover assignments with virtually no support. He's been alone for so long that he no longer knows anything else. Mal's also used to being alone. Wanted in several states and even more countries, he's not allowed in the vicinity of any of his former Navy SEAL teammates. And his current assignment is to track Cillian in order to discover the spook's endgame. Except he's no longer sure which one of them is getting played. Cillian isn't about to let the mission that's consumed him for the past several years crumble because an outsider is poking around where he doesn't belong. But Mal forces his way through Cillian's defenses — and into his heart — exposing a devastating betrayal that could destroy them both.

Before Prophet Drews can have a future, he must first put his past to rest.

But the mission raises all of Prophet's old ghosts: CIA assassins, the terrorist Sadiq, and most importantly, John — traitor, former teammate, and Prophet's first love. To help bury those ghosts for good, Prophet and Tom gather the members of Prophet's former SEAL team...and a spook named Cillian who's been tailing Prophet for years. In the process, Prophet is forced to face his team's shifting loyalties, ghosts who refuse to stay dead, and scariest of all, his own limitations. With everyone's lives in danger, Prophet and Tom must unravel a tangled knot of secrets, including their own. Prophet must decide how much to reveal to Tom, while Tom must decide how far he's willing to go to help Prophet lay his ghosts to rest.

Daylight Again

But the only looter around is Tom, bursting back into Prophet's life. It turns out that Prophet's been stuck in Tom's head — and heart — too. Their explosive reunion gets even hotter when Tom is arrested for murder. As they fight to clear his name, they delve deep into his past, finding enemies among everyone they meet. Staying alive in such a dangerous world is hard enough, but they soon discover that fighting to stay together is the most difficult thing they've ever done.

Running Wild

Book four of the Defiance Series SE Jakes writing as New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Tyler The reluctant truce between the Defiance MC and Keller's mafia was borne out of a shared hatred for the Lords of Vengeance—bloodthirsty thugs who pose a deadly threat to both Defiance's survival and Keller's people. For Rebel, a legacy member of Defiance, this means more than just a secondary war in an already brutal postapocalyptic world: Declan, one of Keller's main assassins, has moved to the Defiance compound. He and Declan have a history, one that Rebel walked away from when the relationship threatened to become more than just covert sex. Now Rebel's charged with keeping Declan close, and the proximity means more than being faced with his mistake—Rebel's been hiding his preference for men from his MC. Is he willing to lose Declan…or Defiance? When Declan goes after a mysterious group called the Nomads, Rebel realizes that the LoV isn't the biggest enemy Defiance faces. But when one of Declan's jobs threatens to put the MC—and Rebel—in direct danger, Declan's deepest secret is revealed. A secret no one in Defiance is prepared for, and one that will force Rebel to choose between his head and his heart.
