A desperate operation...and fiery, secret passion!

Hayley Cole is taken, along with her dog Cutter, by armed men in a black helicopter. What do they want with her? And why is her usually savvy dog so friendly toward their lean, dark-haired leader Quinn Foxworth? Hayley knows she should be trying to escape. But Quinn, with his intense, searching gaze, is always three steps ahead — and much, much too close.

Quinn Foxworth needs to keep Hayley safe, and the only way he knows how is to take control of the situation. Grabbing Hayley is the only way his undercover witness-protection team can protect her as well as their client, but he’s tempted by her innocent courage. Can he convince her he’s one of the good guys while keeping her at arm’s length? Or will he risk letting Hayley into his heart for good?
