Jon Carter is dangerous, deadly, and always works alone. Hardly anyone knows anything about him except he does the jobs no one else in the CIA can. Then his new boss pairs him with a desk-jockey and former ballerina for an undercover mission to Russia.

Not ready for the fast-paced world of Black Ops, Elana Miller quickly realizes Jon is her only hope for survival. But can she survive the heat of pretending to be his lover or will she get them both killed? When everything goes terribly wrong, Elana has to become the operative she never expected to be.

Running for their lives, the two learn nothing is as it seems and everyone runs out of time before they expect to.
