The Ones We Buried by Andrew Houlston

Exciting Spy Thriller with a touch of romance

Elara Veylan has spent her life moving through the world like a whisper — a precision-trained operative who knows how to vanish before a threat even forms. But when a routine pickup in Marrakesh turns into a silent, lethal ambush, she realises someone inside her own service wants her erased.

Bleeding, hunted and unsure who to trust, she flees to London with one forbidden question echoing through her mind: why now?

Rhys, the man sent to kill her, has questions of his own. Once a ghost shaped by the same secret program that moulded Elara, he was buried by the very agencies he served. Now he’s been resurrected for one purpose — track her, corner her, and finish the job. But the closer he gets, the more the past begins to crack open, revealing something far older and far more dangerous than either of them expected.

As hidden files surface and old loyalties twist into knots, Elara and Rhys find themselves circling the same truth: the operation that made them is waking again, and the people pulling its strings are willing to burn cities to keep it quiet.

In a world of shifting shadows, every certainty becomes a lie, every ally a threat, and survival means choosing which part of your past you’re willing to kill.
