They were partners once
After an attack on the job that nearly killed her, Special Agent Celida
Morales is determined to salvage her reputation in the FBI and get back
to the career she loves. Domestic terrorism has left its mark on her -
literally - and now she's more determined than ever to leave her mark on
it. But when a hostage situation takes an unexpected turn she's
confronted with the realization that she may not only lose the hostages,
but also the only man she's lost her heart to.
To be together now, this time they'll have to risk it all
Hostage Rescue Team assault team leader Brad Tucker has always wanted
Celida, but professional conduct and her unwillingness to commit stood
in the way. For more than a year he's been juggling the increasing
demands of his job and personal life, but after Celida was almost
killed, none of those reasons matter anymore. Tuck knows it's time to
claim her and he's ready to lay it all on the line. Then an op turns
deadly and it's a race to bring down a well-trained enemy bent on
settling an old score, a man who doesn't care how many innocent people
get in his way.
