McGuire’s Target

Shadow Hounds: Rogue Waters
She was never meant to be in the field.
Now she’s the one holding the match to burn it all down.
Riven Ashford was trained to vanish behind data—an elite intelligence asset buried deep inside the U.S. government’s most classified networks. She wasn’t a soldier. She wasn’t supposed to get involved. But when she uncovered a betrayal at the highest levels of command, she made an impossible choice — warn the operatives being sent into a trap, and become the target herself.
Now hunted by the same people she once served, Riven’s only shot at survival comes from a woman she’s never met—Savvy LaSalle, a fixer with ties to the past Riven upended. With no time to spare, Savvy makes a call no one saw coming — bring Riven to the Bayou. To the ghosts she saved. To the brother Savvy nearly lost.
McGuire LaSalle was the leader of an elite black ops team—until the day the government turned on them.
Declared dead and buried by the country they bled for, McGuire and his men have been living in the shadows ever since, off-grid and off the record, thanks to Savvy’s last-minute extraction.
Trust is hard-earned in the swamp. And for McGuire, Riven is a walking complication—unvetted, unwanted, and dragging danger straight to their door.
But when her intel points to something even bigger than the op that burned them all, McGuire has to decide if she’s the threat…
Or the key to taking Langley down for good.
Because some secrets don’t stay buried.
