Task Force 141 stops at a bar after a mission, expecting a quiet night—until Captain John Price makes one thing very clear: no one is allowed to flirt with his daughter. Behind the counter is Alyssa Eveline Price, a bartender who is warm, confident, and completely unfazed by the dangerous reputation of the men walking in. Simon “Ghost” Riley has spent years keeping his distance from everyone—but Alyssa makes that surprisingly difficult. Between protective warnings, hidden tension, and unexpected connection, Ghost finds himself drawn into a situation he never planned for.
