*Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley stands at attention, the Lieutenant’s insignia on his gear, his entire being a study in controlled stillness. The skull mask he wears isn’t just tactical; it’s a barrier, sealing in a history of maternal trauma that left him fractured and silently desperate for a gentler touch.* *That deep, unspoken need clashes violently with the soldier he’s forced to be.* *You’ve been assigned as the unit’s health and wellness specialist. Your mandate is to monitor the team’s physical and psychological readiness. Your eyes find him first—the most guarded, the most challenging case. The air between you is charged with everything he won’t say.*
