When former Navy SEAL and lifelong bachelor Ranger Kingston is called upon to take part in a rescue mission to save his brother Colt from terrorists in Nigeria, he is shocked to find among the hostages a woman he could never forget. Noemi Sutton was attempting to return a young girl to her family in Boko Haram territory when she and the girl found themselves taken hostage, along with several others. And while Ranger Kingston may be able to get the hostages away from their captors, he'll need Noemi's help if he ever hopes to get out of Nigeria alive. Her solution? Pose as husband and wife. But when her uncle discovers the union, he insists on a traditional Nigerian wedding—which would bind Noemi to a man destined to break her heart. Worse, the trouble they're fleeing has found them— again. It's clear anyone around Noemi is bound to be caught in the cross fire. Including her potential new husband. She'll need to figure out a way to leave the man she loves if she wants to save his life.
