The clock was ticking...

On a dream in Texas. On a promise in Colorado. And on a mission in the deserts of Morocco.

A spectacular love story.

A CIA Thriller.

Strikingly beautiful Velvet Carrington quit her job in Dallas. Packed her Jeep. And set her sights on an adventure vacation in the mountains of Oklahoma for a month. By herself. Along with her secrets, her scar-filled fears, and the dream inside of her. Because at 28 years old, she hadn't had a date. A kiss. Or anything approaching intimacy for years. On purpose... Except for the dream of a man. She didn't know who he was. Or exactly where he was. Only that he was in the mountains - wild, rugged and tough. All alpha. A hot warrior. A real hero.

But a text from her CIA brother changed everything.

And her world crumbled, leaving her terrifyingly tangled in a vicious web of threats. On the run by herself in disguise. Headed north on Amtrak, trapped in an adventure gone berserk.

While at the same time in Colorado, brown-haired, blue-eyed Remington Wolf got the same text. Powerful, brilliant, wild, and sexy with a mountain of secrets of his own, he promptly hacked her. Tracked her. And took her.

Strangers, but not strangers. Velvet's unknown bodyguard.

So, with Wolf and Velvet forced into intimacy on foot in the mountains, awareness spun a spicy web of attraction. Sexual tension. Alpha versus alluring in a fast-paced romance in the wilderness. Only things were complicated. Covert. And manned by paramilitary predators. Just how far up the intelligence totem pole did the conspiracy go?

Waiting for answers, Wolf prepared for war to save Velvet. Whatever it took. One, because he knew he was her alpha. Two, because he was excellent at what he did. And three, because the President was just a speed dial away.

Bring it on.
