MI6 officer Audra Ridley's undercover op had been years in the making. It took months of meticulous planning before she could even become Alexandra Burton. For nearly a year now she's been living as someone she's not, staving off her "fiance's" advances to get the information she needs to bring down his criminal organization. But with the end in sight, someone discovers the truth about her identity. Injured, and with no idea who to trust, she turns to an old friend. Former Navy Senior Chief Sam Brackley never forgot Audra. Their interlude in Spain a decade ago got him through some of the darkest times in his life. So, when she shows up on his doorstep, battered and angry, he vows to help her in any way he can. But maneuvering through the tangled web of international crime and espionage stretches his resources to the breaking point. Can he find the right thread to pull and save the woman who saved him?
