Lieutenant Commander Sofia Nowak is a Naval Intelligence officer with a secret that could end her career or save lives, depending on how she uses it. When a charming, calculating con man named Marco Romano sets his sights on her, Sofia must draw on her training, her instincts, and a shadowy family legacy to turn the tables before he destroys everything she has built. A taut cat-and-mouse thriller set against the backdrop of military service, Targeting Underway explores what happens when the systems sworn to protect us fall short and justice must come from somewhere else entirely.

A predator meets his match. Marco Romano has perfected the art of targeting military personnel, using wealth, charm, and organized crime connections to manipulate and blackmail his victims. Sofia Nowak was supposed to be his next score. She has other plans.
Two worlds, one officer. Sofia walks a razor-thin line between her oath to the Navy and her family’s tradition of delivering justice outside the law. Every decision she makes risks her career, her clearance, and her conscience.
Authentic military detail, real moral stakes. Drawing from genuine naval experience, Targeting Underway puts readers inside Combat Information Centers, counterintelligence briefings, and the quiet weight of choosing between what is legal and what is right.
