You've all loved those fabulous alpha males whose strength, talent and honour have seen them leading covert security operations. Now see what happens when one is paired with a woman who can match him not only personally but professionally as well!
John Medina, legendary Black Ops leader is about as alpha male as they come. His incredible strength, determination and aptitude for "delicate" situations has made him a leader in his field but also a bit of a loner. Spending his life in potentially explosive situations has made it virtually impossible to get close to anyone. He has long felt something however, for the talented and beautiful Niema.
Electronics expert Niema Burdock is a woman born with a love of risk-taking and a need for adventure and challenge. Five years ago though, when a mission she had accepted in Iran was compromised, Niema lost the man she loved. Believing her passion for danger had died with Dallas, she left the world of espionage never to return – that is until her team leader showed up again. With an offer she couldn't refuse.
Needing the undetectable bugs Niema had created to crack an international terrorist ring, John pulls her back into the world of undercover operatives. He also pulls her closer to himself. For five years John has waited, hoping that Niema would find another man to love, but now he intends to make her his. As the two infiltrate the glamorous world of a powerful weapons dealer, they set sparks flying of each other right and left as they move towards their goal. In this fast-paced, sexy suspense, Linda Howard once again thrills the senses as the hero and heroine (both truly deserving of their title) play to win.
