"Tell Dex I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let it go this far. I’ve thought for a while that marrying him wasn’t right, that I’m not the woman for him - I should have been brave enough to say so. He deserves more."

When Dex “Double Dee” Davidson was abandoned at the altar by the woman he loved, he threw himself into his military career, training hard enough to get accepted into the elite Black Ops unit known as HOT. The love he felt for Annabelle Quinn burned to ashes in the face of her betrayal - so, when she crashes back into his life and begs him to save her, he has no problem laughing in her face.

Blackmailed into jilting Dex and forced into an abusive marriage, Annabelle never thought she’d escape the hell of the last five years. But her husband died a month ago, and she’s finally free. Except, she isn’t. Someone claims that Eric stole a fortune - and they want it back. If she doesn’t return it within 24 hours, she’ll be dead...and so will her young daughter. With time running out, Annabelle has no one to turn to. No one except Dex. 

When Dex learns that Annabelle’s husband committed treason against the US by selling a top secret military project to the Russians, he has no choice but to get involved. He’ll protect Annabelle and her child, and he’ll find out who’s threatening her. But he won’t fall for her intoxicating sensuality ever again. And if he discovers the secret she’s been hiding from him? It’ll be game over for good....

Another explosive, high-octane thrill ride from The New York Times best-selling author Lynn Raye Harris!
