In the Shadow of Theives - Got Your Six, #4

Under the blazing sun and shifting sands of North Africa, Lieutenant Commander Elijah Kravitz—structural engineer and Officer in Charge of a detachment of the U.S. Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (the SeaBees)—is pulled into a world where history refuses to stay buried. Cadassi Pangelina grew up on stories of survival—of the Japanese occupation and the liberation of Guam—told by the Chamoru elders who shaped him. He's spent his adult life chasing the echoes of war: looted artifacts, hidden crimes, and whispered legends. His latest mission brings him deep into the desert, following a trail of clues to Rommel's lost gold. But what he finds instead is the man he thought he'd never see again. Cadassi is convinced the universe is telling him not to let Elijah slip away again, but just as they lay the foundation on which to build a relationship, they're caught in a deadly race for a treasure that might not even exist. Beneath shifting sand and rising floodwaters, Cadassi and Elijah must follow cryptic leads, outmaneuver their enemy, and survive long enough to reach what's hidden in the dark. And the deeper they go, the more they uncover—not just about the treasure, but about each other. In a world of shifting loyalties and buried truths, love may be the greatest discovery of all.
