The Last Command
K.C. Mitchell
He spent a lifetime commanding from the shadows. She crossed an ocean to escape them. Neither expected paradise to become a battlefield. After decades of sacrifice as commander of The Firm, Richard Stewart has finally walked away. Burned out, alone, and uncertain who he is without the mission, he retreats to Croatia in search of the life he never allowed himself to have. Pfeiffer Storm has already found her peace in the coastal teal waters. The former New York attorney traded courtrooms and expectations for an Adriatic villa, a nightclub stage, and the freedom to live entirely on her own terms. When the commanding stranger in the back of the club requests a song, one unforgettable night becomes something neither of them believed they would ever find. But Richard’s past has not released him—and Pfeiffer’s has been waiting for her. An ambush exposes the lethal man behind Richard’s quiet reserve, shaking Pfeiffer’s hard-won trust. Then an enemy resumes a deadly game with only one acceptable ending: checkmate. To save the woman he loves, Richard must reclaim the command he surrendered, trust the family he built, and face the monster who has spent decades preparing his revenge. In the breathtaking conclusion of The Last Safehouse series, the commander who protected everyone else must learn to trust what he’s built to now protect his heart, his future, and his life.
