Marcus heads a mercenary team taking on jobs other law enforcement agencies can’t handle. He’s renowned for remaining cool and emotionless under pressure. Surviving missions unscathed is what he does, but he’s never faced a situation like this. His youngest operative, Bethany, has proven a temptation for him since the day they met. She’s currently on the front line of their latest assignment, and for reasons he refuses to acknowledge, it’s terrifying him.

When young women go missing and one ends up dead overseas it’s up to Marcus and his mercenary misfits to find the culprits and put an end to their sinister trafficking ring. At the time he believed using Bethany as bait was a good idea. He doesn’t believe that anymore, especially after yielding to temptation and taking her to his bed. Now it’s too late to protect her from the danger he’s placed her in. With his feelings for Bethany threatening to derail everything, Marcus is reminded of his first hard-earned lesson as a mercenary. Loving with all your heart makes you vulnerable. That’s something he swore he’d never be again.

Will the danger they face on this mission and the potential to permanently lose Bethany change Marcus forever?
