WOLFE & CROSS SERIES BOOK TWO SHADOWS OF THE PAST

Emma Cross thought she understood the past. She was wrong. When new intelligence links her long-dead father, John Pierce, to a covert operation buried deep within her agency’s darkest history, Emma is pulled into a mission that is anything but routine. The trail leads to Karnov—a ghost in the system and a fugitive with secrets powerful enough to shatter everything she believes. Teaming once again with rogue operative Caden Wolfe, Emma must navigate a deadly web of lies, terrorist networks, and hidden allegiances. But this time, the mission is personal. As the truth begins to surface, Emma is forced to confront a devastating possibility: her father wasn’t the man she thought he was. And someone inside her own agency will kill to keep the past buried. In a world where loyalty is an illusion and betrayal is survival, Emma must decide how far she’s willing to go—and what she’s willing to lose to uncover the truth. Some secrets should stay buried. Hers won’t.
