He was sent to erase a journalist.

Instead, ten days in a blizzard will make him betray Ghostline to keep him alive.

Niko ‘Scalpel’ Iliev has spent years keeping men alive in rooms they were never supposed to leave.

His rule is simple:

Keep the target breathing.

Get the information.

Complete the contract.

Don’t get attached.

Then Ghostline sends him after Ari Halvorsen.

Ari is a Pulitzer-nominated investigative journalist with forty-one pages of evidence against Ghostline MC—and Niko’s name is in the file.

The order comes down in a single word:

Vanish.

Niko takes Ari from a Denver parking garage and drives him six hours into the Colorado high country. The plan is ten days of interrogation in a cabin nobody knows exists, followed by a buried body and a clean drive home.

Then the storm hits.

Forty-four inches of snow.

No road out.

No backup coming.

And a captive who refuses to break.

Ari isn’t begging.

He isn’t bargaining.

And he isn’t afraid of the man Ghostline sent to erase him.

The longer they’re trapped together, the harder it becomes for Niko to remember which one of them is supposed to be the prisoner.

Ghostline has one rule:

Every target goes. No exceptions.

Breaking it will cost Niko his patch.

His brothers.

Possibly his life.

But by the time the snow clears, Niko knows exactly what he intends to do with the body.

He’s just not going to tell Ghostline.

Blackout Protocol is the fourth novel in the Ghostline series, featuring captor/captive tension, an interrogator/source power dynamic, forced proximity, snowed-in isolation, morally black protagonists, possessive obsession, dubious consent, violence, and explicit M/M content. This is a dark romantic thriller with an unresolved ending and no guaranteed happily-ever-after. Reader discretion advised.
