Public Summary Scarlett Steele is one of the most powerful women in the world. As Director of Special Activities, she controls a classified intelligence network so secret that even governments know little about its existence. Her job is simple: stop threats before they become wars. When one of her top undercover operatives vanishes without a trace, Scarlett discovers evidence of a conspiracy buried deep within her own organization. With no one left she can fully trust, she’s forced to work alongside the last person she ever wanted as a partner—Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley of Task Force 141. Cold, guarded, and dangerously skilled, Ghost has spent years keeping people at a distance. Scarlett isn’t any different. At least, that’s what he tells himself. As they race across the globe uncovering betrayals, stolen intelligence, and enemies hiding in plain sight, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. What begins as a clash of personalities slowly turns into something far more dangerous. Because in a world built on secrets, trust can get you killed. And falling in love might be the biggest risk of all. Black Access is a slow-burn military romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, covert operations, found family, high-stakes espionage, and a Ghost who would burn the world down for the woman he swore he could never have.
