   Summary

   Task Force 141's only female operative, Lilly Quinn, i sverything a solider should be: cold in the field, loyal to a fault, and too damn good for anyone's comfort. Especially Ghost's.

   They can't stand eachother. She thinks he's arrogant and emotionally constipated; he thinks she's reckless and far too good at hiding behind that perfect soldier mask. But when a mission goes sideways and the walls between them start to crack, they're forced to face a truth neither wants to admit- sometimes, the person you hate the most is the one who understands you best.

   Because Simon Riley and Lilly Quinn are mirrors: two ghosts walking around in bodies that won't stop bleeding.
