Grace Andreas and Simon Parran knew each other in med school and have been thrust together again because of some stolen biological weapons. However, their reunion is anything but sweet because the secrets they kept from each other then has festered as Simon works on not-quite- approved research and Grace now works for a super- undercover military group. Their secrets are going to get them, and others, killed if they don't learn to communicate and work together.

This is an interesting story, but for readers familiar with the Alpha Force -and even those unfamiliar with it- some of the suspense may lead to "Just tell each other already!" which can detract from the plotlines. However, the layers of romance, secrecy, and detection are interesting and create a fine story.
