Ten years ago Mac Conlon broke her heart...right before she nearly lost her life. But with the lethal assassin who'd tried to kill her back on her trail, Susan Monroe had nowhere else to turn. She entrusted herself to Mac's protection and willed herself not to lose her heart all over again. She was the only woman he'd ever loved. And his need to protect her overrode every reasonable, logical bone in his body. Mac just hoped he could remain sane enough in her enticing presence to do what he'd been trained to—keep them both alive.

Cindy Dees started flying airplanes while sitting in her dad’s lap at the age of three and got a pilot’s license before she got a driver’s license. At age fifteen, she dropped out of high school and left the horse farm in Michigan where she grew up to attend the University of Michigan. After earning a degree in Russian and East European studies, she joined the U.S. Air Force and became the youngest female pilot in the history of the Air Force. She flew supersonic jets, VIP airlift and the “C-5” Galaxy, the world’s largest airplane. She also worked part-time gathering intelligence. During her military career, she traveled to forty countries on five continents, was detained by the KGB and East German secret police, she got shot at, flew in the first Gulf War, met her husband and amassed a lifetime’s worth of war stories. Her hobbies include professional Middle Eastern dancing, Japanese gardening and medieval reenacting. She started writing on a one-dollar bet with her mother and was thrilled to win that bet with the publication of her first book in 2001.
