A wounded warrior trained to take lives.

Former Delta Force operator Rhys Sinclair defied the odds by recovering from a traumatic brain injury that should have killed him. Given the chance to repay the beautiful doctor who saved his life by guarding hers, he can't say no–even if it means facing an unknown threat from the cunning terrorist his CIA-sanctioned team had been hunting in Afghanistan. The catch is, she can't know anything about it.

A talented surgeon trained to save them.

Trauma surgeon Neveah Adams is finally putting her life back together after her horrific experience in Afghanistan, and giving the keynote speech at a medical conference in Vancouver is her starting point. With Rhys there to watch over her she feels safe for the first time in months. She thinks her biggest problem is trying to hide her intense feelings for him. But she's wrong. The terrorist who targeted her in Kabul is coming after her again to ensure all his past mistakes are erased with one final strike—and neither Rhys nor Neveah realize how close the assassin is.
