Former Air Force Combat Rescue Officer Deke Cunningham has never met an opponent he couldn’t beat. But when the love of his life left him, it took him a long time to recover. An unexpected night of passion with her sent him back to square one, so he fought his way back again. Now Mindy has been taken hostage by terrorists to lure him into a trap. He can’t refuse, but he’ll be damned if he’ll fall under her spell again. Mindy never wanted Deke to know they’d conceived a baby on that careless night. She’s prepared to rear the child alone. Now she’s not sure who she’d rather face—the terrorists holding her or Deke when he sees she’s eight-months pregnant. Deke and Mindy are prey in a dark and deadly underground maze. Deke could easily handle these guys alone, but he’s responsible for Mindy’s safety, too. How in hell will he get them out of this mess? And if he can save her and their unborn baby, what’s he going to do then?

Former Air Force Colonel Rook Castle dedicated his life to protecting the innocent and bringing them back alive. When terrorist leader Novus Ordo targeted his wife to get to him, Rook was forced to abandon her in the worst way. He believed that breaking her heart and his own was a small price to pay to keep her safe. Ever since witnessing the horror of his assassination two years ago, Irina Castle has run Rook’s foundation, Black Hills Search and Rescue. She swore never to give up searching for him, refusing to believe he’d really died. But with her funds depleted, she’s given up the search—and her hope that Rook is still alive—in order to save the organization he loved. Now Novus is targeting Irina again, and Rook's worst fear has come true. Not even his faked death can keep her safe. He has no choice—he must return from the dead to protect the woman he loves more than his own life.
