But for one American intelligence officer, Captain Nathaniel Harper, this mission is more than a professional duty—it's personal. His father, a renowned physicist, was forced to collaborate with the Nazis and died under mysterious circumstances in 1942. Now, Nathaniel is assigned to recruit one of the Third Reich's top scientists, Dr. Wilhelm Falk, who not only worked on rocket technology but also knew Nathaniel's father intimately. As Nathaniel delves deeper into Falk’s work, he uncovers unsettling truths about his father's role in the Nazi war machine. Falk, brilliant but unrepentant, claims that Nathaniel’s father played a pivotal part in designing weapons of mass destruction, and Nathaniel must confront the possibility that his father wasn't the victim he imagined, but an active participant in atrocities. Caught between his duty to secure Falk's knowledge for the U.S. and his desire for justice, Nathaniel finds himself at a moral crossroads. To complicate matters, he uncovers evidence of a covert Soviet plot to either capture or eliminate Falk, escalating the stakes as tensions rise between the Americans and the Soviets. In this novel, questions of loyalty, morality, and the blurry line between victim and perpetrator are explored against the backdrop of the secretive and morally ambiguous world of post-war intelligence.

[Mature Content] "Is he playing with me—hiding his feelings and making me seek him?" Ashan, a Chinese-American, sometimes cold and mean to others but inside a shy boy who masks his anxiety, true emotions, and insecurities with a rough-tough deadpan face, makes the biggest mistake of ignoring the flaring gaze and the longing eyes of the most popular girl in his new school. Deep down, he wants that girl, which he mistakes as an ordinary crush on a random celebrity. He never knew the depth of his desire until the girl touched him. The denial of his yearning and internal conflict consume the peace and serenity of his simple life. Gradually, he discovers many unspoken histories about the girl he once despised but has now fallen for. He learns what obsession is and also understands what the true, endless, selfless, unconditional version of love is. Their love blooms like a colorless flower with fragrance in secret, in the darkness…. Two seventeens in their golden adolescence thrive further, overcome their matter, learn about each other, and know themselves better in their journey together. The sunshine girl—workaholic, scandalous, and horny. Despite being popular the girl keeps mystery around her. She is a tall, lean-bodied, short-haired brunette with mild-tanned skin. 5 foot, 10 inch. He feels lucky to be 3 inches taller than her. Her eyes he compares to eagles, which literally matches her features and behavior—brown hazel eyes with golden flecks that form a gold ring around the dark pupils in her eyes.

Pitch-black hair, monolid eyes with dark brown iris, milk-white skin, and a lithe body groom him as a complete Asian, hiding his American nationality. Her adoring gaze reminds him of how handsome he is, which he regards as an annoyance as his beauty attracts unease attention.
