THE WINTER PROTOCOL
Daniel S Ashcroft
He thought his years of service were over. Then a wounded stranger arrived with a message only he could understand.
Sébastien Noir has built a quiet life in rural Herefordshire, far from the French Foreign Legion and the intelligence operations that followed. His housekeeper, Julia Hampton, knows little of his past-until a young French intelligence officer reaches his door during a winter storm. Professional killers follow close behind.
The message comes from Swallow, the Legion officer who once saved Sébastien's life in Chad. Its evidence points to terrorist networks being financed and directed to undermine trust across Europe, weaken NATO and turn allies against one another. Some of the people entrusted with investigating the threat may already be compromised.
Forced to draw on old loyalties, Sébastien reunites men whose debts to one another have survived decades of separation. Their search takes them from the English countryside to a hidden training camp in Chad and into the guarded world of European intelligence.
Alongside him, Julia must confront both the violence of her own past and the dangerous life he has concealed. As she becomes essential to the investigation, their growing attachment gives Sébastien something he has long avoided: a future he is afraid to lose.
The Winter Protocol combines covert operations, political intrigue and hard-earned loyalty with a slow-burning relationship tested by betrayal, sacrifice and the cost of survival. It opens the Protocol series, continuing in The Spring Protocol.
