Home of the Brave

In a world where nothing is real, their love is the only truth. Actress Kit Lord has lived scripted for fifteen years—every smile calculated, every word perfect. Then someone sends her a video of herself saying things she never said. Military-grade deepfake technology convincing enough to destroy everything. Now she's hiding in small-town Tennessee, watching her career burn in digital flames. She never expected Code Drakos—a former Army cyber security expert who sees through every facade, including hers. For the first time, someone's looking at Katherine, not Kit Lord the actress. Code came to Jasper Creek for peace after twenty years hunting cyber terrorists. He was done with digital nightmares and false identities. Then his cousin arrives with Hollywood's biggest star and a problem that has his old instincts firing. This isn't just about one actress. Someone's weaponizing lies on a scale that could destroy anyone. When he looks at Kit, he sees a woman desperate to be real. She's nothing like he expected and everything he never knew he needed. Now he's going back to war for the most real thing he's ever found. A Hollywood star whose life is being digitally destroyed. An Army cyber warrior who thought he was done fighting. And an enemy using technology that makes truth impossible to prove. Settle in for: Celebrity in Hiding Grumpy / Sunshine Small Town Romance Cyber Thriller Romantic Suspense Steamy Scenes View Less
