Dark Water

The cover story is they're married. The truth is they can barely stand each other.Declan Rourke flies AW139 helicopters to offshore oil platforms in the North Sea — grey water, constant wind, and the kind of isolation that suits a man who doesn't play well with others. Kristin Vance is former CIA, current Aegis security lead, and everything Declan has spent his career avoiding: political, calculating, and operating with an agenda she won't share.When Aegis intelligence links a North Sea platform to the Kingmaker consortium's arms pipeline, Declan and Kristin go undercover as a married couple working the platform. The cover requires proximity. The mission requires trust. Neither comes naturally to people who've built their lives on keeping everyone at arm's length.Between the grey waves and the platform's steel corridors, the arms pipeline leads somewhere darker than either expected — and the fake marriage starts feeling less fake with every shift they survive together.Dark Water is Book 7 in the Eagle Extraction series — where the Kingmaker conspiracy tightens, and the most dangerous thing on the North Sea isn't the weather.
