When Tessa sends her family on vacation after another fight with her husband, she is expecting a relaxing week of solitude.

Meanwhile, the self-possessed Captain Hunter finds that Tessa Scott is affecting him in a way he thought no woman could. The two are forced into a complicated partnership as they work together to unravel a terrorist plot that will affect thousands of people. The stakes are raised when Tessa discovers that her family is in danger from the same terrorists. Will Captain Hunter save them, or is he looking to Tessa to save him? A seemingly ordinary woman is compelled to emerge as altogether extraordinary in the face of sinister schemes, brutal aggressors, and worldwide implications.
