About this ebook

USAT author PJ Fiala, brings you the next generation of GHOST operatives set in the small-town of Glen Hollow, Kentucky, where a long-standing rivalry is brewing into an all out war, and love comes calling even in the worst of times.

GHOST: Government Hidden Ops Specialty Team. They eliminate the threat when no one else can.

She’s a highly-skilled GHOST operative following in her father’s heroic footsteps.

He’s the driven special counsel to the Secretary of Defense.

Their roles collide as a war breaks out that neither of them saw coming.

As far back as Adelaide Masters can remember, she has always known exactly what she wanted to do with her life. She grew up surrounded by cousins and friends, her constant companions, whose parents were all GHOST special operatives. Learning from the best in the business and gaining experience working under the watchful eyes of her family has been a dream come true, but now she’s ready to set out on her own.

Rafe Martin is living his dream as special counsel for the Secretary of Defense. Brought in on some of the most confidential assignments, he's never once divulged secret information. His reputation is above reproach and a source of great pride. It’s what has propelled him to this coveted position in the fifteen short years since arriving in DC. 

Rafe's boss goes dark and a crack team of special operatives are brought in to locate him. Special operative Adelaide Master’s request for information is at direct odds with his responsibility to maintain a high level of secrecy. Unfortunately, the very secrets he hopes to protect may be what gets Adelaide killed.

Ratings and reviews

*Stealth and Revelations* Rafe & Adelaide "Addie" are great together! There's some insta-love going on as they navigate the dangers all around them, but I like how it all comes together. I love that this took Addie & some other members out of Glen Hollow & into the murky wilds of Washington, DC. Now that things with the BRR have reached a conclusion, or mostly so, I'm glad things weren't dragged out artificially. I also love how the HOG remains their home base as they spread their wings from the older generation. I love it when there are crossovers between series. For GHOST Legacy, it's no surprise that members of GHOST & their other halves make appearances, but we also get a mini-crossover with RAPTOR. 🥳 Don't be alarmed if you haven't read either or both series. It's something that enhanced the experience for me but shouldn't detract from yours. The narrators, Troy Duran & Rose Dioro, are always great to listen to. The only thing that could make it better is duet. 😉

I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of Guarding Adelaide . This story is sensational . Adelaide Masters is part of GHOST -(Government Hidden Ops Specialty Team ) . Rafe Martin is Special counsel to the Secretary of Defense . They meet when Ghost steps in to secure Rafe's boss Adelaide contacts Rafe for information but soon they find themselves in danger and fighting for their lives as secrets come to light . This story is action packed and Suspenseful full of deception and murder . An Outstanding Suspense Romance . I highly recommend taking the time to read .

There is something immensely satisfying in these second-generation GHOST stories, and Adelaide’s didn’t disappoint. This is definitely one of the most suspenseful, and Adelaide and Rafe are great characters. Their first meeting alone makes you want to know more. The book has action, heat, intrigue, even treason – and there’s a big reveal for long-time fans (nope, not saying more!). I put this book down feeling slightly better about the world than I had been feeling – definitely giving it 5 stars
