Military Romance/Romantic Suspense
The biggest secrets are often held by those we trust the most.
Nicholas Hawthorne, code name Hawke, has lived in the shadows most of his life. The night he met Olivia Gates, a bright light pierced the darkness, and his life was never the same. Opposites in everything except what mattered, they formed an extraordinary bond based on mutual goals, unfailing trust, and most of all love. Their partnership was legendary, their devotion to each other unshakable. They believed nothing could tear them apart. But evil has a way of seeking out perfection with the intent to destroy.
Evil thought it had won.
Olivia Gates learned betrayal at an early age, and life had taught her that nothing was permanent or perfect. When she met Hawke, all those lessons went out the window. He was her soul mate, the other half of her heart. She would love him forever, no matter what. But forever is a long time. How could she have forgotten that betrayal can shatter a heart in an instant?
Returning from the dead was never Hawke’s intent. The elaborate ruse was staged for myriad reasons, but now he has no choice but to come in from the cold. Enemies he’s spent years hunting are on the move, and catching them is his sole focus. The woman he loves—the woman he would die for—is their primary target, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe. The fact that she hates him cannot hinder his goal.
As enemies surround them, Hawke and Olivia have a choice to make—let the past destroy them forever or join forces and fight the enemy together.
Their love is eternal, but survival is optional.
Heartless is the third novel in the Option Zero romantic suspense series. It is a stand-alone novel with a guaranteed HEA.

REVIEW
“The biggest secrets are often held by those we trust the most.”
A romantic suspense with military background with plenty of action but driven on the characters. Heartless is emotional as the main couple deals with their tragic past and secrets. You are on an emotional rollercoaster as Hawke and Olivia battle the unknown threats as well as try to overcome their own personal hurts. Evil separated this meant-to-be couple once, and honestly I wasn’t sure they were going to make it together again. A very mysterious cast of characters each having their individual issues that they must deal with but share a very strong bond with one another. I eagerly await the next book in the series as the team continues their hunt for justice.

Welcome to the world of Option Zero
Beneath a barrage of bullets and destruction, six men defied death and betrayal to form an unbreakable bond of friendship and loyalty. Though the people responsible sought to destroy them, in the end, they only made them stronger.
And like a Phoenix rising from those ashes of destruction, Option Zero was born.
Both hated and respected, OZ works under the cover of anonymity. They have free rein–as long as they don’t get caught. If that ever happens, they’ll be tried and convicted without help from any government.
Receiving intel from multiple sources throughout the world enables OZ to do things ordinary citizens could never accomplish. But they’re living on borrowed time. Many have tried to take them down, and at some point, someone will succeed. It’s a price they’re willing pay.
The warriors of OZ will stop at nothing to achieve their objectives.
