Protecting Zoe

With unrest exploding across Qatar, embassy officer Zoe Yelton has one job: reach the evacuation point at midday.

But when a desperate friend tips her off about children being smuggled out of the country, Zoe can’t walk away — even if it means missing the last flight home.

Special operations soldier Heath Ghanooni is there to extract civilians, not chase danger. His orders are clear: get Zoe to the plane.

Then riots shut the city down and a dust storm grounds every aircraft.

Leaving by other means should be easy.

Except Heath knows what it’s like to be a child at the mercy of others.

So he makes a choice that could end his career.

What follows is a desperate race across borders with enemies closing in – and a connection neither of them expected.

Because protecting Zoe isn’t just the mission anymore.

It’s personal.

High-stakes. Slow burn. A cause worth fighting for. Protecting Zoe is book 2 in the Squadron 6 series.
