When Taskforce 141 is assigned to protect a high-priority asset, Simon “Ghost” Riley expects distance—another mission where he can hide behind his mask and finish the job without feeling a thing. He doesn’t expect you. From the moment your eyes meet his, something quiet and unfamiliar takes root. You don’t flinch at the mask. You don’t fear the silence. Instead, you look at him like you see him—not the legend, not the weapon… just Simon. A young woman with dangerous, unexplainable abilities, you were meant to be just another assignment. But late nights in safehouses turn into soft conversations, and stolen moments become something neither of you can ignore. He starts staying closer than necessary, his presence shifting from watchful to protective in a way that feels… personal. And you begin to notice the small things. The way his voice softens only for you. The way his hand steadies you without hesitation. The way he never lets you out of his sight—not because he has to… but because he wants to. With every mission, every close call, the space between you disappears until it’s no longer about protection—it’s about you. About the way you make him feel something he thought he buried long ago. But Ghost doesn’t believe in love. Not for himself. And yet… when you’re in danger, when your name leaves his lips like it means everything, the truth becomes impossible to ignore— You’re not just the mission. You’re the one thing he would break every rule for.
