Intro

After spending five years working undercover with the FBI on the mainland, Detective Jayla Davis, a 26-year-old elite investigator, is transferred back to Hawaii to help Five-0 solve a string of murders targeting law enforcement. What Steve McGarrett doesn’t tell his team is that Jayla isn’t just another detective. She was the woman he fell in love with years ago. The woman who disappeared without saying goodbye. The woman he’s never been able to forget. Now they’re forced to work side by side while hunting a dangerous criminal who seems to know everything about Five-0—including Steve’s past.

Chapter 1 – She’s Back Steve is called to Honolulu Airport to pick up a federal agent assigned to Five-0. He expects someone older. Instead, Jayla steps off the plane wearing an FBI jacket, duffel bag over her shoulder. Their eyes lock. Neither of them moves. Danny looks between them. “…You two know each other?” Jayla forces a smile. “Been a long time, Commander.” Steve quietly replies, “Too long.”

The Secret No one knows Steve and Jayla dated six years earlier. They planned a future together. Then Jayla accepted an undercover FBI assignment. To protect Steve, she cut off all contact. Steve believed she’d chosen her career over him. Jayla believed leaving was the only way to keep him alive. Neither ever stopped loving the other. Main Mystery A mysterious criminal called The Ghost is targeting current and former military personnel connected to Steve’s past. Every victim receives a photo of Steve before they’re killed. Someone is trying to send him a message. The deeper Five-0 investigates, the more they realize The Ghost has been watching Steve—and now Jayla—for years.
