One chance to take back what’s his…or lose it all forever.

Be it a Black Ops mission or woman’s desires, there’s no challenge Hunter McCabe will back down from—and that may just be the death of him. Especially when he takes a secret mission from his best friend’s private security company without fully understanding what’s at stake. What’s supposed to be a simple job gathering intel turns complicated when his target’s niece, Petra, arrives in town for the summer, rattling everything he thought he knew about his resolve.

Petra is all innocence and sweet curves and way too good for him, which is exactly why he should resist her. No matter how hot their chemistry, he can’t allow his desires to compromise the mission or put Petra in danger. And yet, when she opens that sassy mouth of hers and refuses to stay out of trouble…his steely determination falters.

When a hidden element takes Hunter by surprise, turning the case, and his heart, upside down, Hunter is forced into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, with Petra as the bait. Now the timer’s ticking down, closing off all his options. If Hunter can’t find a solution, he won’t just fail the mission.

He’ll fail the only woman capable of healing his broken soul.
