Family secrets must be kept, and painful wounds must be ignored.

After an all‐out assault by a vicious terrorist bent on destroying her entire family, a former government agent must break the strict rules she has always lived by when she emerges from hiding to reluctantly accept the help of her all‐too‐sexy ex‐lover. Running a deadly race against time, they rush to rescue her kidnapped sister, find her missing father, and bring the notorious villain to justice. But nothing ever goes as planned. Bullets fly, danger abounds, and their passion reignites even faster than the lies are flowing. But their stubbornly held secrets
just might spell the end of their rekindled love and hopes for the future...as well as their very lives.

We all surround ourselves with armor protecting our
hearts and our inner wounds forged in
childhood. Learning to trust someone enough to let
them inside the armor, to let them help you shed it
to become your true self, unafraid and ready to take
on the world is the greatest gift love can give you.
And the gift Kyle gives to Genie.
