Covert Game's Gino "Phantom" Mazza
It’s time to head back to the bayou! We’re back with Team Four and this time they’re being sent on a suicide mission to save a woman they’re not sure they can trust. I thought you might like a little insight to the story.
Gino “Phantom” Mazza has an interesting background as well as unusual abilities and heightened senses. He takes one look at pictures of Zara Hightower, spending hours reading articles and he just can’t stop thinking about her. So, when they finally meet, his protective instincts kick in and nobody better get in the way of his saving her.
It’s not that he’s some white knight, he’s not. His character has never been that. He has a dark history and isn’t the nicest man. But, something about her calls to him and the predator in him meets the need to protect her in a way that is seriously sexy.
I love bad boy protector stories. I just do. Having a GhostWalker bad boy protector was so immensely fun to write.

Covert Game's Heroine: Zara Hightower
Zara Hightower is the heroine of Covert Game and I wanted to talk a little bit about her in light of the Covert Game book release on March 20th.
Zara was raised like many of the genetically altered and enhanced women. A team of five became a team of three early in her training and those three were incredibly bonded.
Zara’s friends were Bellisia and Shylah. Both women were very much warriors, but though Zara had that same training and was capable of killing, she wasn’t the warrior the others were and Whitney punished her for that.
Zara is a very different heroine. She’s brilliant. She’s a leader in artificial intelligence and lectures all over the world.
Her intelligence is what kept her alive, and important to Whitney. So, when she’s captured she’s not entirely ready for what awaits and her only hope comes when Gino Mazza’s team decides that saving her is worth the potential cost of lives.
But, there’s so much more to Zara than meets the eye initially and through the book we discover what that is. I love this heroine. I love that she’s so different and I hope readers will enjoy her story.
