When Navy pilot Rawley West is approached by a shadowy operative with an offer she can’t ignore—fly covert missions for the CIA in Afghanistan—she knows it’s risky. What she doesn’t know is how deep the mission will go, or how personal it will become.

Trading her wings for a new identity, Rawley enters a world of secrets, where alliances shift fast and betrayal can be fatal. As she trains for black-ops operations, long-buried family truths come to light, old wounds reopen, and a past love reignites with explosive consequences.

Havana Deception delivers pulse-pounding air combat, vivid international settings, and a fierce, unforgettable heroine who challenges gender norms and defies the odds. This is a story of revenge, redemption, and the raw courage it takes to face the past—and stop the future from going nuclear.
