There's no love lost between them ... until they're about to lose their lives.

Twelve years ago, Levi McCoy discovered the girl he loved betrayed him. He used the pain to become cold and calculating–the perfect Black Ops soldier.

When the 707 is assigned to extract a journalist embedded in a deadly terrorist cell, Levi can't believe the face looking back at him from the SITREP file. He's rescuing the same woman who shredded his soul. Worse, she's no longer the naïve teenager she pretended to be. She's something far more dangerous.

Blake Porter's heart rate spikes when she recognizes the voice behind her rescuer's black mask. Levi, the high school love who abandoned their perfect relationship without a word of explanation. It's all she can do not to blow her cover and reveal the real reason she's in Yemen.

Amid bombs, blood, and a flood of memories, Levi and Blake face off in a showdown of wills–Levi battling to resist the woman he's never stopped loving, and Blake losing her grip on the need to beg Levi to hear the truth. All the truth–because even if they get out of this alive, their hearts may not survive intact.
