The Last Bullet

Elias Ward has spent twelve years obeying orders from a distance, believing that distance makes a dangerous man clean. Then a winter assignment places his former lover in the crosshairs.

Clara Bennett is carrying documents that could expose Orpheus, a secret influence network built on manufactured crises, private power, and carefully erased witnesses. Elias is told to remove her before sunrise. Instead, he refuses the shot and becomes the one person standing between Clara and the people who want her silenced.

As they move through a city of borrowed names and compromised loyalties, the past they buried begins to surface. Clara must decide whether the man who abandoned her can be trusted with the truth. Elias must face the damage caused by years of obedience and learn that love is not protection when it takes away another person's choice.

When the final evidence leads them to the roof of an unfinished tower, Elias has one last decision to make. The bullet meant to complete an order may be the only thing that can save the woman he never stopped loving.

The Last Bullet is a romantic suspense thriller about second chances, moral courage, hidden power, and a love that survives only when the truth is allowed to speak.
