He walked away from love to protect her. Now danger won't let them stay apart.

Jase Hamilton has nothing left to lose—except the woman he already gave up. Haunted by Felicity Miller and the choices that tore them apart, Jase tries to outrun his past by throwing himself into work with a new private security team. But when he crosses paths with Nessa—sharp, warm, and off-limits—it isn't just his mission that's at risk. It's his heart.

As old enemies reemerge and Nessa becomes a target of the same criminal network that nearly destroyed Jase, he must confront a deadly truth: ProtoComm is back and more powerful than ever. When Nessa is taken, Jase will risk everything—his freedom, his life, even his soul—to bring her home.

From the streets of San Antonio to the shadows of Myanmar, Altar Ego is a high-octane romantic thriller about sacrifice, redemption, and the terrifying beauty of second chances. With a girl to rescue, a past to reckon with, and a future he never thought he deserved, Jase must choose: will he keep running, or finally build a home worth fighting for?
