Ex-SEAL Asher Gideon's work at Cerberus Tactical with his K9 partner, Hoover, keeps him busy and content. He didn't even know his life was missing anything until he saw her again. Now, he has to fight to get through the mission without losing focus and ruining everything...or getting them both killed.

CIA officer McKayla Pickard never thought she'd see Asher again. At one time, she'd been sure he was the love of her life. But with a dangerous mission ahead, she'll have to decide if a second chance at happily ever after is worth the potential devastating-and deadly-fallout.

Her mission is simple. Find the pressure points amongst the Russian elite to develop CIA assets. His is even simpler. Keep her safe. But all it takes is an unexpected explosion to raise the stakes to an uncomfortable height. To survive with their heads (and hearts) intact, they'll have to rely on the one thing they thought they'd lost long ago. Each other...
