Two years ago Will Shannon lost his career, his reputation, and the romantic relationship that had developed with a young female Secret Service agent on his team. Now he's being framed for the murder of the drug mogul who'd hired him as a private bodyguard. And the only person he feels he can trust to help him is the woman at the center of the controversy that ruined his life.

Although she desperately wanted to, Caitlyn Malone has never publicly acknowledged her role in Will's disgrace. When he shows up at her door, wounded and disoriented, she finds that she can't turn him away. Together they battle a relentless enemy, who has both unlimited resources and a ruthless determination to protect those at any cost.

Cait and Will discover that the forbidden attraction that once drew them together has not lessened. This time there are no rules or regulations to keep them apart--only a terrible danger that drives them closer and closer as they attempt to unravel the mystery.
