Romance, jeopardy, and international intrigue abound when the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team is assigned to protect the daughter of a high-ranking diplomat.

For FBI Hostage Rescue Team member Evan Cooper and his partner, dignitary protection duty should have been a piece of cake. Unfortunately, Monica Callahan isn’t making it easy. Estranged from her diplomat father—who is involved in a sensitive hostage situation in the Middle East—she refuses to be intimidated by a related terrorist threat back in the States. That is, until a chilling warning convinces her that the danger is very real…and escalating.

As Coop and his partner do their best to keep Monica safe, her father triggers an abduction that puts her life at risk. And with every second that ticks by, Coop knows that the odds of saving the only woman who has ever breached the walls around his heart are dropping. Because terrorists aren’t known for their patience—or their mercy.

In this Daphne du Maurier award winner, bestselling author Irene Hannon plunges readers into a thrilling intercontinental plot where dangers lurks at every turn.
