Zero Hour
(2026)(The first book in the Honor Bound Hearts series)
A collection of stories by Sami A Abrams, Lily Hann and Cara Putman
Three exciting stories of military-themed Christian Romantic Suspense!
Breaking Protocol - Cara Putman
When rule-bending investigator Todd Westmont discovers an unconscious thirteen-year-old girl, his spontaneous methods clash with strictly by-the-book caseworker Paige Newman. Exhausted by burnout and caring for her veteran brother, Paige uses rigid protocols to guard her fragile heart against Todd’s charm.
But the Jane Doe has leukemia and desperately needs a bone marrow donor—prompting reporter Dani Richards to agonizingly hope the girl is her long-lost daughter. Forced into an uneasy partnership, Todd and Paige trace a military challenge coin to a wounded veteran. To orchestrate a medical miracle, they must risk their own guarded hearts before time runs out.
Alaskan Hero's Return - Lily Hann
FBI agent and cyber expert Taylor Ertz has sworn off love. Three years ago, her fiancé vanished during a covert mission, presumed dead—but Taylor’s heart refuses to believe it. Now, she’s thrust undercover in Senator Schulz’s PR team, posing as a web designer to unmask a mole feeding secrets to the Russians.
Kambre ‘Kam’ King should have died three years ago. The CIA declared him dead, along with the rest of his team. Now, as Spartak’s deadly network resurfaces, Kam is sent deep undercover to stop them—only to discover that Taylor is in their crosshairs.
Charlie ONE - Sami A. Abrams
Jade ‘Raven’ Mitchell never steps into the field. She fights from behind a screen. Until someone decides her mind is the weapon they need.
After uncovering proof that experimental military tech was hijacked to expose elite U.S. soldiers, her reports vanish. Six months later, she’s abducted from a Mexican resort.
BlackKnight Security owner and leader Liam ‘Charlie One’ McKnight has trusted Raven’s voice on his comms for years. So, when he’s hired to find a missing contractor’s daughter and discovers Raven bruised and bound in a jungle hut, the mission turns personal.
But rescuing her is only the beginning.
