DEVIATION AT PAGE 31
by Festus Gitonga
About the book
She was sent to seduce him. She went rogue on page 31. Intelligence operative Sasha Volkov is handed a forty-seven-page operational directive: get close to weapons analyst Julian North, earn his trust, extract his secrets, then disappear. Every conversation is planned. Every touch is calculated. Every outcome has already been predicted. Then she reaches page 31. Instead of following the script, Sasha makes a choice no intelligence officer is supposed to make. She falls in love. Five years later, Sasha is burned and on the run. Julian is hunting the people who engineered their relationship and carrying the document that proves their entire love story was orchestrated by ARCHITECT—a chilling AI designed to weaponize trust, desire, and human connection. When Sasha resurfaces in the shadowed streets of Tallinn with evidence capable of destroying the operation forever, the two former enemies are forced into an uneasy alliance. As assassins close in and a global conspiracy unravels, they must decide whether to trust the feelings the algorithm predicted—or destroy the machine before it scripts countless more lives. But one question refuses to stay buried: Was any of it real? From the icy streets of Tallinn to the sunlit coast of Croatia and the ghosts of Berlin, Deviation at Page 31 is a gripping romantic spy thriller filled with slow-burn chemistry, impossible choices, shocking twists, and heart-pounding suspense. Perfect for readers who love intelligent espionage, emotionally charged romance, and morally complex heroes. Some missions are written. Theirs became a deviation. Book One in The Rogue Script Series—where love is the most dangerous mission of all.
