Caitlin Cooper has landed her first major reporting assignment outside the wire in Afghanistan. Her station wants her to find out if there’s more to the US dropping its largest non-nuclear weapon. She knows the risks reporting in a war zone, but she’s eager to make a name for herself. She won’t let anything or anyone come between her and the truth…and that includes the sexy military man her best friend’s brother tasks with protecting her as she navigates the dangerous terrain. Owen Burrell isn’t happy when he’s pulled from his SEAL team and put on what amounts to a babysitting mission. Freedom of the press extends beyond the American borders, and apparently with one such press core member, so did old favors. Someone wants Caitlin Cooper protected, and Owen’s new orders put him between the enemy and her body. And damn, what a body it is. Not only is she not used the ugliness of war, but she’s also clueless to the temptation she brings. The faster she finishes her story, the quicker he can put the beautiful woman out of his mind and focus on finishing his tour. Because what he wants, he can’t have. And what he knows, he sure as hell can’t tell her…
