First Blood
She thought her past was buried. She was wrong.When Alex Mason inherits a vineyard in California’s Napa Valley, it should be a fresh start—a rare moment of peace. He asks Gallin to join him, hoping to leave the chaos behind.

Now they’re coming.
Off the books. Off the grid. Even Mossad and ODIN won’t touch this one. For Gallin, this isn’t just another mission—it’s personal. And the only way to survive is to strike first.
But the hunters closing in on her aren’t just after revenge.
They’re planning something far bigger.
Something that could destabilize the West itself.
To stop them, Gallin will need help—whether she wants it or not.
She needs Mason.
And Mason is about to learn that loving a spy can be the most dangerous mission of all.

I’ve read all books in series. First 10 were very good and then the tone changed. Not as much intrigue or action. Characters are becoming uninteresting. More international conspiracy babel and political theory. I kept reading new books hoping for a return to mystery, character development and action but was disappointed.

Another excellent Mason chapter . Mason continues to benefit from the Mossad agent of choice. They both had tremendous odds against them but came out on other side. Great story and plot. 10 🌟 plus!!! Thanks Carl Clause
