Feisty Kate Mahaffey doesn't need anyone looking out for her--until the night she receives a hysterical phone call from her sister Colleen. Something about two men, a murder and a plea to run, hide and, above all, don't contact the police.

Terrified and alone, Kate reaches out to the one man who can help her--one with every reason to refuse. Her ex-husband, Jackson Prime, is a CIA operative whose shadowy life eclipsed their marriage. Jack may have signed divorce papers, but his heart still belongs to Kate. He'll do anything to keep her safe...and win her back.

Dodging hit men and bullets, the former lovers must track down Colleen before their mission changes from run-and-hide to turn-and-fight--for their love and their lives.
