Anne Lemonte's childhood was one long story of abuse, neglect, and abandonment. She overcame her dismal beginnings and became a smart, strong woman, used to living life on her own terms, more importantly, alone with no emotional entanglements. On her first week at her new job with Trinity Security, she runs into Degan Malone, the man she has loved since high school. Degan, like Anne, is ex-military. He is with rugged good looks, tall, brooding, sexy, the biggest, baddest of the Trinity field operatives, and a notorious womanizer and adrenalin junky. He's hotter than ever! But, he doesn't recognize her, she has re-invented herself, a strong confident woman with a new name and looks. They are drawn together by fate from their shared past when Anne mysteriously disappears. The Trinity team pulls out all stops to find her, leaving a trail of destruction as they follow the leads to Mexico. Tempers and passions run high for both Anne and Degan as they confront their demons. Degan is always ready to raise hell with his teammates, but is he ready to leave his heart in the care of one of them?
