Echo Protocol

Introduction

Some truths are buried for a reason.
Some ghosts never stay dead.
And some love stories begin in the line of fire.

When investigative journalist Anika Roy receives a tip about a covert operation buried deep within the files of a powerful defense conglomerate, she believes it might just be her next big story. But she doesn't know that digging too deep will paint a target on her back—and awaken a past long thought buried.

Enter Rayan Malhotra—ex-special forces, now a private security consultant living a life of shadows and silence. Haunted by the failure of a mission that cost innocent lives and shattered loyalties, he has sworn off violence and emotion. Until her.

Bound by danger and drawn to each other by something neither understands, Anika and Rayan must work together to expose a conspiracy that spans continents and shatters trust. But as bullets fly and secrets unravel, they will learn that in this game of truth and deception, the cost of survival may be the one thing neither of them is ready to risk—their hearts.

"Echo Protocol" is a high-stakes thriller that blends adrenaline-pumping action, mind-twisting suspense, and a slow-burning romance set against the backdrop of betrayal, redemption, and the price of truth.
