As a member of the elite United States Marines Special Forces team Force Recon, James Burckhardt puts his life on the line every time he goes out on a mission to serve his country. Their assignments are dangerous yet critical, but James, along with his Force Recon team lived for them all.

Until he met Carolina.

Carolina de Anda thought she could handle being a military man’s girlfriend, but when James goes off on a mission and she doesn’t hear from him since, Carolina decides enough is enough. Her sister Maribel and friends want her to forget he ever existed, yet Carolina knows that’s impossible, especially when James shows up on her doorstep after a year of nothing with more physical and mental scars than he’d had when he’d left.

After a harrowing mission where he was betrayed and taken captive by the Russian mob he’d been sent to infiltrate, James knows he has to wage an even fiercer fight to return to Carolina’s good graces. But when the mob follows James home, it will take him, Carolina, her sister, his best friend and second-in-command to hold them off. Will James be able to defeat his international foes? Will Carolina surrender to the passion between her and James that cannot be denied?
