Blackjack's Ascent

Some partnerships challenge everything you believe.

​​​​​​​Others make you question everything you thought you wanted.

BLACKJACK

Joining the world’s most secretive and elite intelligence organization should be the opportunity of a lifetime. What I didn’t expect was Katarina Stepanov. She’s brilliant, she’s lethal, and she has exactly zero patience for me telling her what to do. Good thing I have all the patience in the world. Beacon thinks she’s going to keep me at arm’s length. I’m going to enjoy proving her wrong, slowly, thoroughly, and with my full attention.

BEACON

Everything I do is focused on honoring the legacy of what my family built and keeping the organization strong. Then Bishop Black arrives with his cocky attitude and unconventional approaches, disrupting everything I’ve worked to maintain. He’s supposed to help strengthen our defenses against future threats, but all he’s doing is getting under my skin in ways I never anticipated.
