Benedict Calder

The war changed everything. Benedict Calder had joined the Army to make a difference, rising quickly in special operations as a HUMINT (Human Intelligence) specialist and liaison. Syria tested him in ways he never expected—missions demanding charm, deception, and nerves of steel as he infiltrated sensitive networks. But the squad he trusted was betrayed. Accused of a crime they didn’t commit, they were thrown into a maximum-security military confinement facility. Inside, their focus narrowed to one objective: escape. Using his exceptional skills in social engineering and forgery, Benedict helped orchestrate their escape, securing the necessary access points and identities for their vanish, disappearing into the shadows of the city. Not everyone escaped. Including his commanding officer, Staff Sergeant Dead Richardson. Now, he move through the city like a ghost in tailored clothes, a soldier of fortune for hire. Charming, lethal, and always one step ahead, he’s known in whispers as Loverboy—the man women can’t resist and enemies can’t predict.
