CODENAME: GHOUL is a dark military romance packed with emotional intensity, suspense, and forbidden connection.

Yasmine Pennington thought she had finally escaped the control of her narcissistic father. On the verge of earning her master's degree, she's determined to build a normal life. But when her father suddenly hires a bodyguard without explanation, Yasmine's sense of safety starts to crack. Unbeknownst to her, someone is watching her from the shadows.

Ghoul, a battle-hardened Marine working in a covert black op's unit, doesn't do emotional attachments. Locked in a troubled past he believes he's unredeemable and undeserving of a chance at happiness. His current job is simple; watch her.

Ghoul breaks protocol and risks everything to save her when she's kidnapped. Hiding her away may keep her safe, but it also puts them in close quarters with nowhere to go. His mission changes when he is tasked to find out what she knows, but at the same time not get attached to her in the process. He thought he knew Yasmine while he watched from the shadows, but she isn't what he expected and he struggles to remain detached.

Yasmine and Ghoul confront their pasts, all while not falling for each other because romance and danger don't mix. Ghoul is left with the decision to do his duty or take a chance at a life with her.

For fans of dark romance with military suspense, broken heroes, forced proximity, and slow-burn intensity.
