Whisper (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781964261775)

Eliza Wren decoded something she shouldn't have.

Now Phoenix will do anything to silence her for good.

Dr. Eliza Wren thought her cipher research was historical. Ancient. Safe.

She was wrong.

Three colleagues dead in two weeks. Same pattern. Same encrypted signature hidden in her linguistic data-financial secrets worth billions, protected by contractors who kill without hesitation.

Now Phoenix operatives hunt her through Georgetown's halls, her FBI handler is dead, and the encrypted files on her laptop hold the key to a conspiracy that could fund global chaos.

One desperate call brings Cooper "Whisper" McKenzie out of the shadows. Former military sniper. Current surveillance ghost. A man who operates in absolute silence and speaks through precision, not words.

Eliza processes everything out loud-every thought, every fear, every brilliant deduction tumbling from her lips as they race through D.C.'s forgotten tunnels.

She talks when she's nervous. He needs silence to survive.

She connects through words. He communicates through action.

She solves problems by thinking aloud. He eliminates threats without a sound.

But her chaotic brilliance cracks codes his methodical mind can't reach. And his deadly precision keeps her alive long enough to decode the impossible: Phoenix's Ashfall Protocol. A financial reset funding an AI system with unlimited resources and zero conscience.

In abandoned NSA facilities and beneath the streets of Washington, two opposites discover that survival requires more than their training. Trust builds in the spaces between words. Heat ignites without sound.

When Phoenix teams close in and Phase Two activation looms, Whisper must break his silence. And Eliza must learn that the most important communications happen without words at all.

Perfect for readers who love high-stakes romantic suspense, opposites-attract chemistry, and deadly conspiracies. If you enjoyed Sandra Brown's thrillers or Julie Garwood's protective heroes, you'll devour WHISPER.
