Code Name: Ares — Heather Slade

Two agents. One global conspiracy.

As they fight to save lives, can they resist losing their hearts?

In the war against human trafficking, Ares and Nemesis' love might be the deadliest weapon of all.

ARES

As a former CIA operative, I thought I'd seen it all. Then I met her -- Margeaux Nemesis Jordan, the brilliant and infuriatingly stubborn leader of the UK's anti-trafficking task force. Now, we're forced to work together, leading a UN coalition against a global human trafficking network. It should be simple: focus on the mission, ignore the attraction. But with every lead we chase, every life we save, I find myself falling harder. In a world of shadows and danger, can I protect both the innocent and my heart? Or will choosing duty mean losing the one woman who could be my perfect match?

NEMESIS

I've spent my career fighting criminals, but nothing prepared me for Philip Ares Kappas. He's reckless, charming, and far too tempting for my own good. As we race from the docks of Felixstowe to the streets of Bulgaria, unraveling a web of corruption that spans continents, I find my carefully constructed walls crumbling. With hundreds of lives at stake, I can't afford distractions. Yet every time we're together, the line between professional and personal blurs. Can I trust him with my heart as I've trusted him with my life? Or will opening up mean losing everything I've worked for?

While each book in the K19 Allied Intelligence Team One series features one couple and a guaranteed HEA, the series may be more enjoyable read in order.
