They chose the one night Alpha was supposed to be too far away to come home.
Ethan Corbett and the men of Alpha are operating off the Canadian coast when a coordinated force descends on Corbett House-the home, command center, and chosen ground their family has spent years building.
Only Emma Bellini, Bella Carter, Brooke Park, Maddie Mercer, and Zoe Stavros are inside.
The eighteen attackers carry stolen credentials, suppressed weapons, explosives, medical restraints, and five live-capture packets. They know the house. They know the women. And they expect fear, injury, and false authority to finish what force cannot.
They are wrong.
As Emma holds command, each woman turns her own expertise into resistance. Bella reads the coercion. Brooke keeps the wounded alive. Maddie fights the building itself. Zoe keeps one broken path open to the outside. Together, they deny capture long before Alpha can return.
But surviving the assault is only the beginning.
The evidence points across borders toward the network that has hunted them for years, forcing Ethan and Emma to confront the question beneath every mission and every promise: when does protection become control-and what does it mean to build a future no institution, enemy, or fear can own?
The Ground We Hold is Book Four of the Field Study Alpha series, a high-stakes military and espionage thriller featuring found family, ensemble romance, explicit adult intimacy, and a complete book-level resolution.
The series is intended to be read in order.
