Safehouse With No Mirrors by Brea Holden

Wren Silva built an algorithm incapable of ambiguity, designed to identify anyone on earth. When her own technology is weaponized to frame a ghost for murder, the digital trail leads her straight into a trap.

Waiting for her is Kellan Price, a former intelligence operative who erased his identity—and surgically altered his face—to become completely invisible to the systems Wren created. Hunted by a corrupt defense contractor, they are forced into an underground safehouse deliberately stripped of all mirrors. Inside this concrete cage, the brilliant whistleblower and the faceless protector must dismantle an AI fabrication engine capable of rewriting reality itself.

But outsmarting a system designed to exploit their deepest secrets requires absolute trust. For Wren, that means relying on a man who operates in the shadows she spent her life illuminating. For Kellan, protecting the woman who built the weapon that destroyed his past means risking the one thing he swore never to expose: his true face. In a world where truth can be rendered and evidence manufactured, the most dangerous variable is connection.
