Love's Last Stand (Love's Labyrinth Series Book 1)

Three years after her fiancé's murder, Harper Vale remains obsessed with uncovering the truth while struggling with guilt over wanting to leave the relationship. Once an investigative journalist, she now works behind a bar until a reckless choice draws her back into the wealthy world that nearly destroyed her. When Harper obtains a stolen flash drive containing a coded warning, she becomes a target for someone powerful. Cole Maddox, a former special ops soldier disgraced for refusing illegal orders, has been investigating the shadow network responsible for his downfall—a network of ex-military contractors, corrupt politicians, and operatives who eliminate threats. When his investigation intersects with Harper's, he initially views her as a liability, then as a target, and finally as something more dangerous. As assassins pursue them and secrets emerge, Harper learns that her deceased fiancé may not have been who she believed. His death may be connected to a covert operation called Project VIGILANT. Forced into an uneasy partnership, Harper and Cole confront betrayal, guilt, and a powerful attraction they cannot afford. Trusting each other could be fatal, but separating could cost them everything. This is Book 1 of the Love's Labyrinth series.
