Novels by Victoria Efe

Colonel Jack Reed, known in classified military circles as the lethal "War God," has abandoned his past to live as an unremarkable, low-paid security guard at the Ashford Residences. He adopted this quiet, low-status life to keep a deathbed promise made on a nameless mountain to his dying commander, William West: to secretly watch over and protect William's daughter, Grace, without ever revealing his true identity or past. While Grace struggles to save her late father's defense company, West Industries, from a predatory buyout led by Deputy Director Samson, Jack quietly monitors her from afar while enduring daily disrespect from residents and local gang members. However, Jack's strict vow of invisibility begins to unravel when he steps in to violently handle local extortionists and muggers, utilizing his signature, highly specialized combat techniques. When a video of Jack effortlessly taking down gang members goes viral, it catches the attention of "The Bloodshot"—a dangerous intelligence broker who recognizes Jack's unique "War God" fighting style. As local gang boss Tiger backs off, far more dangerous corporate and military shadows begin to converge on the Ashford Residences. Jack is forced to navigate a narrowing tightrope: maintaining his cover to protect Grace while using his secret resources to aid those around him, all as his past threatens to catch up with him.
