Discover The Shattered Covenant
Book Five of the Gripping Jack Mercer Series
Elena Markham is kidnapped with her three-month-old daughter and held inside a fortified estate in the French countryside. Her captor, a former MI6 deputy director, wants Elena to build a system capable of secretly influencing world leaders—and uses her daughter as leverage.
When Jack Mercer learns that his wife and daughter are alive, he launches a desperate rescue with his old partner Hawk Hawkins. But they aren’t the only ones coming. A Russian special forces commander wants Elena for himself, while the teenage son of a dead cartel lord is hunting Jack through the same deadly trail. Three assault teams are closing in on one building—with Elena and her daughter trapped at the center.

The Shattered Covenant
Elena Markham hears the cockpit door lock with a bolt that doesn’t belong on a Cessna. The cabin pressure drops. Her three-month-old daughter is in her arms. She has six seconds of consciousness left, and she uses three of them to wrap her body around her child.
She wakes in a stone estate in the French countryside with Claire in a crib five feet away and a former MI6 deputy director standing over her. The woman doesn’t want Elena dead. She wants something worse — she wants Elena to build a system that can reshape the decisions of world leaders without their knowledge. And she’s using a mother’s love as the leverage to make it happen.
Jack Mercer — former Force Recon captain and intelligence operative — receives a twenty-three-kilobyte burst transmission and drops to his knees. His wife is alive. His daughter is alive. The GPS coordinates point to a fortified estate guarded by a former SAS commander who has already tried to kill Jack once in London.
Hawk Hawkins flies in from Madrid with cold fury and a suppressed rifle. But they’re not the only ones converging on that estate. A Russian special forces commander wants Elena for his own purposes. And a seventeen-year-old son of a dead cartel lord — patient, brilliant, and carrying a shattered covenant between father and family — is hunting Jack through the same espionage trail, arriving at the same door from a different direction.
Three assault elements. One building. Elena and Claire in the middle.
