Damian

He promised he’d come back. This time, he might not.

Damian Cross has spent his life walking into fire and coming out with scars. As the Golden Team’s most unshakable operator, he’s faced down warlords, cartels, and Hydra’s mercenaries without hesitation. But one vow keeps him alive through every firefight—I’ll come back to you.

For Morgan, that vow is everything. She and her little sister Ruby have already lost too much to Hydra’s cages. Damian’s strength, his steady presence, and the way he kissed her in front of the whole team are the only things keeping the fear from swallowing her whole. But loving a man like him comes with a price: waiting, watching, and praying he doesn’t become another name on the wall.

When Damian’s mission against Luthor explodes into chaos, the Golden Team has one chance to bring the Hydra mastermind down for good. The compound is a fortress. The enemy has numbers. And the deeper Damian fights, the more he risks breaking the only promise that matters.

In a world built on betrayal and blood, trust is the deadliest risk of all. And for Damian and Morgan, love may be the only way to survive.
