She was a ghost. He was the man who found her. And in the war between visibility and survival, love becomes the most dangerous code of all.
Kira Ashford has spent years building the perfect disappearance—cash transactions, burner devices, a rented room above a bar in a dying Pennsylvania mill town. A brilliant hacker living as a ghost, she knows the rules of invisibility by heart. Then one misconfigured server pulls her into a criminal financial network she was never meant to find, and the men who control it come for her.
The Hacker Series follows Kira across two books and two dangerous men—each claiming her for different reasons, each forcing her closer to the truth she’s been running from. Roman Petrov, the enforcer who kidnaps her and reframes captivity as protection. Viktor Sokolov, the syndicate power broker whose kill-switch device holds entire networks hostage.
The code breaks. The wolves converge. And Kira Ashford chooses to be seen.
Book 1 — Zero Hour (Kira & Roman)
“She was invisible. He was the enforcer who made her visible—and then refused to let her disappear.”
Kira has been a ghost for years—dyeing her roots in a drugstore bathroom, paying cash for everything, renting a room above Crane’s Bar in Millbrook, Pennsylvania. Then she probes a misconfigured server and stumbles into a syndicate financial network tied to a surveillance photograph labelled PETROV. Within hours, Roman Petrov—enforcer, operative, and the most dangerous man she’s ever calculated odds against—is standing in her doorway with an offer she can’t refuse: work for him, or die.
What begins as captivity becomes something far more complicated. Roman’s compound is a cage without bars—doors left open, protection offered through a wolf pendant that marks Kira as his. As she proves her value by repelling cyber-attacks and building adaptive defences, Roman defies his own leadership to keep her.
But Viktor Sokolov is closing in. When his wolves converge on the compound, Roman burns everything he’s built to keep Kira alive. The compound burns. The ghost chooses light. And Kira Ashford broadcasts the truth to the world on live television.

Book 2 — Kill Switch (Kira & Viktor) — Series Finale
“He owns the kill switch. She’s the only one who can disarm it—and him.”
Three months after Roman’s compound burned and the federal badges closed in, Kira wakes in a new cage with zip ties cutting into her wrists and the chemical taste of sedation coating her tongue. Her new captor is Viktor Sokolov—the man who orchestrated everything: the syndicate’s financial architecture, the federal manipulation, the kill-switch device that holds entire networks hostage. He doesn’t want Kira dead. He wants her skill. And the grumpy, stoic power broker who should terrify her is offering something Roman never did: a choice.
As Kira navigates Viktor’s world—penthouses and warehouses, chess-match negotiations and escalating set pieces—she discovers the kill switch isn’t just a weapon. It’s a trap, and Viktor is as much its prisoner as its architect.
Kira must decide whether Viktor’s protection is another cage or the first honest shelter she’s ever known—and whether destroying the kill switch means losing the man who built it. The kill switch detonates. The empire falls. And Kira chooses Viktor with her eyes wide open.
