She was meant to evacuate. Instead she stayed to save children no one else would fight for. With unrest exploding across Qatar, embassy officer Zoe Yelton has one job: reach the evacuation point at midday. But when a desperate friend tips her off about children being smuggled out of the country, Zoe can't walk away - even if it means missing the last flight home. Special operations soldier Heath Ghanooni is there to extract civilians, not chase danger.
His orders are clear: get Zoe to the plane. Then riots shut the city down and a dust storm grounds every aircraft. Leaving by other means should be easy. Except Heath knows what it's like to be a child at the mercy of others. So he makes a choice that could end his career. What follows is a desperate race across borders with enemies closing in - and a connection neither of them expected. Because protecting Zoe isn't just the mission anymore.
It's personal. High-stakes. Slow burn. A cause worth fighting for. Protecting Zoe is book 2 in the Squadron 6 series.
