Atlas (Discarded Heroes: Scions Book 1) (Kindle Edition)

Olympic sharpshooter McKenna Neeley thought her biggest challenge was living up to her legendary father’s legacy as Nightshade’s team sniper. But working as a junior Consular Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Armenia, she’s about to face her most perilous mission yet—and it has nothing to do with diplomacy.

When a high-stakes dinner party brings Dante Riddell back into her life, McKenna’s carefully ordered world tilts off its axis. The brooding security specialist from Omen Tactical Group was her childhood crush, but now he’s all grown up—and guarding secrets as closely as he guards his VIP clients.

Despite finally being claimed by his father as a teen, Dante has spent his life believing he isn’t worthy of the Nightshade legacy. When his duty collides with McKenna’s consular work sparks fly and keeping their distance becomes impossible. She’s everything he remembers and more—brilliant, compassionate, and dangerously distracting. His job is simple: complete the mission and walk away before his damaged heart gets involved.

But when a deadly enemy disrupts peace talks, simple plans shatter like glass.

Trapped together in a web of international intrigue, McKenna and Dante must trust each other—and God’s plan—forging a love that’s been years in the making. Because sometimes the greatest battles aren’t fought with weapons, but with faith, forgiveness, and the courage to believe in second chances.

Can two wounded hearts find healing in each other’s arms, or will the shadows of their past destroy their chance at forever?

“A beautiful blend of faith, heart-pounding suspense, and swoon-worthy romance. This book touched my soul!” — Susan May Warren, USA Today bestselling author
