Hard missions and high altitudes, thatβs what Captain Mike Shaker, 10th Mountain Division, US Army, is all about. He never hesitates, not even when tasked with stopping a deadly virus from exploding in the Himalayas. At least, not until he finds out heβs going in with a single partnerβLucy Merritt. A woman. Soft. Super-feminine. No military background, no combat training, armed with just a PhD in art history. Worst of all, sheβs gorgeous. Another word for βdeadly distraction.β
Then Mike finds out that Lucy isnβt a hindrance to the mission. She is the mission. Heβs just the muscle.
Lucy Merritt has made a point of creating a life for herself thatβs safe, unadventurous. Sheβs already paid her dues to the CIA, having lost both her CIA operative parents in Nhala, a small Himalayan kingdom, long ago. In her book, theyβve taken quite enough from her already.
But they tell her that her country needs her. That sheβs the only one who can go in to Nhala undercover, with the dour but undeniably sexy Captain Mike at her side, posing as her fiancΓ©. Itβs a disaster waiting to happen. Sheβs a strong, independent woman, and here she is, melting when a tough, sexy warrior smolders at her. She canβt resist Mikeβs protective tenderness, and the blaze of attraction between themβthough giving into it could cost her everything.
Then all hell breaks loose in Nhala, and Mike and Lucy will need all their passion and power just to surviveβ¦because itβs not just their own lives at stake.
