ABOUT THE BOOK
Book 2 of 3: The Raya Dossiers
What happens when the man who changed your life leaves you the truth that may destroy it?
Raya Bradford thought she had survived the impossible.
In Mid-Love Crisis, she found love again. When Nyck Franz—the brilliant, secretive man who turned her second act into a revolution of the heart—seemed tragically lost, Raya refused to let grief have the final word. She listened to her heart. She followed the clues.
In Conflicting Directives, Raya finds Nyck again. For one breathless moment, she believes the locked doors between them have finally opened.
Then everything ends in the Austrian snow.
Grief should have closed the story. Instead, it leaves Raya with a wedding ring, a medallion, a black Furvus Fidelis card, and a trail of evidence pointing toward the agency Nyck served, the handlers who lied to him, and young women disappearing through systems built to look respectable.
Pulled from San Francisco to Vienna, Zurich, Hungary, and beyond, Raya enters a world of covert directives, corporate corruption, compromised operatives, and technologies no one fully understands. Every answer exposes another betrayal. Every ally carries a secret. And every order Raya uncovers seems designed to protect the powerful while burying the vulnerable.
But Nyck left more than grief behind.
He left proof.
As Raya follows his final trail, she must decide how far she is willing to go to expose the men who turned rescue into cover, love into leverage, and human lives into assets. Because in the world of Furvus Fidelis, loyalty is never simple, truth is never clean, and conflicting directives can get people killed.
Conflicting Directives, Book Two of The Raya Dossiers, is a romantic spy thriller about grief, courage, conspiracy, and the dangerous work of choosing truth when every system is built to hide it.
Some missions begin with orders. Others begin with love.
