Alicia Stone has always lived up to her name: unbreakable. As the daughter of a general and a Special Forces consultant with black belts in three martial arts, she's fought her way to the top in a world where respect is never freely given. No one questions her strength or dares to call her Alicia-except Colonel Robert Maxmillian.

As head of the elite Biological Response Team, Max is no stranger to pressure, but his toughest mission yet lies in northern Iraq, where a deadly virus-or weapon-threatens to wipe out entire villages. With Alicia by his side to protect him, he's ready to face the unknown. But what starts as a mission of survival quickly becomes personal as the undeniable attraction between them grows.

Alicia knows Max would be the perfect no-strings fling, but he's not interested in settling for less than everything. Their passion ignites even as the stakes rise. When their investigation leads them closer to the source of the virus, they uncover a dangerous enemy willing to sacrifice anything to keep their secrets buried.

With lives on the line and their own hearts in the balance, Alicia and Max must trust each other to survive. Can they take down a ruthless scientist before time runs out-or will their mission end in betrayal and heartbreak?
