Operation Butterfly

Jaxon Malone only had one job—travel to Ajid and escort Alia Fadel to America for Dro and Lola’s wedding. Simple enough, right? No one could foresee a previous regime surging back to power just weeks before American troops are slated to evacuate. Alia, the maid of honor, is imprisoned for leading public protests and her release is conditional on silence and overwhelming fines her family must pay.

Every attempt Jax makes to get Alia out of the country fails, as the new ruler insists on marrying her in a publicly televised ceremony. It will take a miracle and a daring escape which must happen before the new government closes the country off from the rest of the world.

Someone is trying to kill Dr. Sydney Lomax, an expert jeweler and inventor who is on the cusp of receiving a prestigious award for her cutting-edge advances in technology.

If her enemies succeed, they will obstruct plans to uncover the munitions dump hidden miles beneath the sands of Durabia where a Doomsday Bomb is silently ticking away.

Ethan Wakefield returns from a covert mission just minutes behind Sydney’s kidnapping. One of his former team members has set his sights on using her to find that top-secret government facility that is filled with inventions Sydney created that could save countless lives or destroy just as many.

Now, his love for her will be tested and used against him while time winds down and he does everything in his power to bring her home alive.
