BorderlIne

Nora Vance thought she'd left war behind. Then one jump drops her into the most dangerous place she could land.A former U.S. Army counterintelligence operator, Nora has spent years trying to build a normal civilian life after a mission ended with the death of her partner. But during what should be a routine solo jump near the DMZ, a violent storm and equipment failure drag her miles off course-and she crashes inside North Korea.Before dawn, Nora is discovered by Captain Ri Tae-jun, a disciplined border patrol commander who knows exactly what will happen if he reports her: she will disappear, and anyone connected to her may disappear with her. Instead, Ri makes an impossible choice. He hides Nora and tells everyone she is his wife. What was supposed to be a temporary lie soon becomes far more dangerous when Ri's loyal squad uncovers the truth and chooses to protect her too.As Nora adapts to a life that isn't hers, her old counterintelligence instincts begin noticing things no one else questions-a hidden facility, unexplained patrol patterns, and a secret operation far more dangerous than simply crossing a border. Now escape is no longer just about getting Nora home. It's about protecting Ri, his men, and an entire village from a conspiracy powerful enough to erase them all.Borderline is a tense military action thriller filled with espionage, survival, forced proximity, loyalty, betrayal, and a slow-burn connection between two people who were never supposed to trust each other.
