After U.S. Special Forces officer Bobby Luchetti discovers that the woman he loves has married his brother, he accepts the next mission he's offered—a solo assignment deep into the heart of Mexico to rescue a kidnapped doctor.

Dr. Jane Harker practices medicine in places no one else will go. When the super-soldier shows up to rescue her, she points out that she doesn't need rescuing. She hasn't been kidnapped. Then, someone tries to kill her.

As they try to stay one step ahead of whoever has it in for Jane, they move from lust to friendship to love. But does this relationship stand a chance? Because getting through this alive is only the beginning...
