Protected by the Ghost SEAL
(2026)(The fifth book in the Iron Hollow Protectors series)
A novel by Ivy Snow
She was supposed to be his mission. She became his obsession instead.
HE’S A GHOST. Asa Vale is a lethal ‘Ghost’ ex-SEAL who exists entirely off the grid. For years, he’s protected his comrades by monitoring threats from the shadows and secretly watching the one woman he can’t have.
SHE’S A LEVEL 5 TARGET. Elite analyst Cassidy Jameson just stole encrypted data to expose a billionaire’s corrupt schemes. Now, a lethal statewide dragnet is hunting her.
When Asa is sent to pull her to safety, he expects a compliant asset. Instead, he gets a fierce woman who refuses to hide. Forced into a relentless escape through a network of smart cameras and kill teams, their bitter friction ignites into a consuming passion.
He shows her what it feels like to be truly seen. She shows him what he’s been missing in the shadows.
But as the manhunt closes in, their walls shatter. To protect the woman who gave him a reason to live, the ‘Ghost’ must step out of the shadows. But exposing his face will bring slaughter straight to his comrades.
And Cassidy must learn to trust that surrendering control to an infuriating operative is her only chance at survival.
Trigger Warning: This story features intense violence, graphic combat injuries, and military PTSD, alongside medical and abandonment trauma. It includes government conspiracies, claustrophobic confinement, and life-threatening scenarios like gas exposure and drowning, while also depicting surveillance and stalking through a romantic lens.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
