The Shadow Assignment - Jennie L Bryant

She was never supposed to see the truth.

Now it might get her killed.

Ash Rivers is used to controlling the narrative. A powerhouse songwriter behind platinum hits, she knows how to stay behind the scenes out of the spotlight, out of danger. But when a mysterious encrypted file lands in her hands, everything she thought she knew about her world begins to unravel.

Because the music industry isn't just about fame.

It's a cover.

Enter Sam Zhou, a former Marine turned elite security operative with a past buried in classified missions and dangerous secrets. He's been hired to protect Ash... but the deeper they dig, the more he begins to question whether he was ever meant to save her at all.

As shadow networks close in and betrayal lurks at every turn, Ash and Sam are forced into a deadly game of deception, where trust is a risk and falling for each other might be the most dangerous move of all.

Because in this assignment...

love isn't just complicated.

It's lethal.
