Override

He was hired to investigate her husband.

He never expected to become the only man who truly saw her.

Maeve Gallagher has spent months convincing herself that her marriage isn't as bad as it feels.

The cameras are for protection.

The rules are reasonable.

The isolation is temporary.

And if she has to hide in an unused bathroom just to breathe without being watched, that doesn't mean she's trapped.

It only means she needs to try harder.

Keaton "Skee" Vance trusts systems more than people. As Grayline's brilliant, morally gray hacker, he finds the patterns everyone else misses-and the deeper he digs into Ronan Gallagher's carefully constructed life, the more one truth becomes impossible to ignore.

Maeve isn't being protected.

She's being controlled.

Skee was only supposed to gather evidence. Instead, he starts quietly giving her back the pieces of herself Ronan has taken-her favorite coffee, the music she loves, contact with her family, and the freedom to make her own choices.

But when Ronan's control turns violent, watching from the shadows is no longer enough.

Skee will break every rule, destroy every system, and burn Grayline's carefully laid plans to the ground before he lets Maeve disappear.

Because she may belong to one of the most powerful families in Chicago...

But for the first time in her life, the choice belongs to her.

And she chooses him.

Override is a slow-burn military romantic suspense featuring a genius hacker hero, an Irish mafia heroine escaping a controlling marriage, forced proximity, touch-her-and-die protection, found family, emotional healing, and a fiercely devoted hero who will always give her the freedom to choose.
