Living in Southern California, Cheyenne was used to seeing
hot military men as she went about her daily business. An
anonymous encounter at the grocery store cemented her crush
on one such man. He was big, built, and incredibly easy on
the eyes, but it wasn't as if he would ever really notice her.
Always in control of any situation, Faulkner “Dude” Cooper
knows explosives. As a bomb expert, he's lived through many
high pressure situations. Disfigured by a bomb while on a
mission, he's used to being looked at with pity. When he's
called to a local supermarket to assist the local PD, the
last thing he expects to find is a generous act of kindness
performed by a beautiful, amazing woman. Enchanted by her
selflessness in the face of danger and intrigued by her
actions to save civilians she didn't know, Dude’s hooked.
Dude was able to save Cheyenne from the group of thugs
trying to take her life, but when the past comes back to
haunt them both, sometimes having the knowledge and the
desire isn't enough to beat the countdown of the clock.
