One woman.
All in.
One job unravels him . . . she unravels him.
He’s the alpha with stealth precision. He never misses the shot.
Deep in the Panama jungle, Atlas is closing in on his target when he discovers something he never expected—a woman chained to a wall, beaten, starved, and barely holding on.
Her golden eyes stop his heart.
He came to capture a target. Instead, he's walking into a rescue mission.
Molly is terrified, exhausted, and desperate to survive. When Atlas frees her from her chains, she doesn't know if she can trust the lethal soldier standing in front of her. He's strong, capable, and dangerous—but his gentle eyes promise something she hasn't felt in weeks.
Security.
Trust doesn't come easily. Neither does escape.
The people who kidnapped Molly aren't finished with her. They'll hunt her down before she can reveal what they want hidden, and Atlas knows exactly what they'll do if they catch her again.
So he does what he does best.
He protects her.
But getting Molly out alive is only the beginning.
As they fight their way through danger, the attraction between them becomes impossible to ignore. Atlas can protect her from armed captors, ruthless enemies, and every threat coming their way.
What he can't protect either of them from is the desire building between them.
One mission brought them together.
Now he'll risk everything to keep her alive.

Phantom Ops: Where loyalty is lethal, and love is the real risk.
Samantha Wilde resides in western Canada and has a special love for the Canadian Rockies. As a child, she lived in British Columbia and some of her favorite memories revolve around being a 90s kid with the mountains as her backdrop.
One of her biggest passions is writing un-put-down-able romantic suspense that robs readers of sleep. After meeting her husband Jesse at only eighteen years old, she experienced love at first sight—so for her, insta-love is totally realistic. With two young girls and a little boy, her arms and heart are always full. Their dog Ragnar ties up the family package. When she’s not running kids to lessons or rocking a sleeping baby, she loves to create stories about badass alpha heroes who toe the line of morale and fight for what they believe in—and the woman they love.
Aside from creating the hottest book boyfriends, Samantha also loves to cook, bake, and spend time outside with her children (when it’s not -50 c). She’s also a proud, chocolate-loving health nut living her days in gratitude.
Samantha loves to connect with her readers.
