Signal Fade

Vale Ashwood thought she was dead.

Cipher—his missing operative, the woman he loved and lost in Montenegro—vanished two years ago in an explosion that left no body, no trace, no hope.

But now she's calling from the dead.

An encrypted signal. A biometric tag that shouldn't exist. And a message that shatters everything he thought he knew:

"I didn't forget you."

Except she did. They made sure of it.

Cipher's been erased, rebuilt, and embedded with a kill code designed to detonate the moment she remembers too much. Her memory is fragmented. Her identity is weaponized. And the deeper Vale digs, the clearer it becomes:

She wasn't just a victim.

She was the prototype.

Built by Project Revenant. Coded to kill the one person who refused to let her go.

Now Vale is racing across continents—Paris, Varanasi, Prague—following breadcrumbs she left in places only he would think to look. Each piece of her memory brings him closer to the truth. And closer to triggering the fail-safe that will erase her completely.

But there's one thing her programmers didn't account for:

Cipher doesn't break easy.

And Vale? He's not letting her go twice.

Perfect for readers who crave romantic suspense with heat, dangerous heroes who fight for the women they love, and the kind of slow-burn tension that ignites when two broken people choose each other over survival.
