I have something exciting to share with you all today! The cover reveal for Dauntless Defenders book 5 by @taylorsnewport_author just dropped, and y’all, it’s stunning!! We officially have the title too, Ground Zero, which I admit I was thrilled to learn because it’s just so fitting!

About the book:

The grave was a lie. The silence was a trap. Now, the past has come to collect.
Following the death of her grandfather, Alexandra “Alex” Romanova steps into the weight of
Veritek, the global cybersecurity empire her family built. Taking a brief breather in the States to
grieve, she believes distance will help—until a violent attack on their lake house proves
otherwise. The message is unmistakable: the Russian mafia has come for her and for the
company she now controls. But when Alex uncovers a Bratva trafficking ring targeting young
girls, protecting her inheritance becomes secondary. She refuses to stand by while innocent
lives are sold.
Life hasn’t slowed down for Tyler Reid—only grown more dangerous. The Bratva isn’t just after
Veritek; they’re watching Alex, waiting for the moment she slips. His new mission is to keep Alex
out of the mafia’s hands. But stopping the trafficking network means stepping into the path of
one of the most ruthless criminal organizations in the world.
When the Bratva makes their move, everything changes. Saving the trafficked girls could cost
Alex everything she inherited—and Tyler may be the only one who can stop it. Every choice
carries immense consequences, and the secret Alex holds could change everything between
them. Survival will demand all they have—and force them to confront how far they are willing to
go to protect each other.

Dauntless Defenders.
Infiltrate. Extract. Survive.
