~*~
With an over-inflated ego CIA agent, Lola MacMillon, enters the elite special ops headquarters only to get put in her place by the head of the team, a sexy former navy seal, Rocco Robichaux. Mac's doggedly pursued the South American criminal empire since they'd kidnapped her sister years ago, determined to shut it down. But teaming up with this rugged Lieutenant brings out a recklessness that could cost her the case, but more than that it could cost her life.

Roc doesn't do careless. Being rock-hard and steady is how he'd received his name. Clear thought and calculated actions are why he'd climbed the ladder to team commander, but the brash agent caused all kinds of chaos, especially in his own head. Getting the job done is the easy part; keeping the sassy CIA agent at arm's length is the real challenge.

When the case takes a dark turn and reveals a traitor amongst the highest echelons of the CIA, Rocco finds himself between a rock and hard place. He must either finish the mission as commanded or go rogue to save the one woman who'd just become the government's number one target.
