Special Forces Captain Decker Nguyen doesn't usually make big mistakes, but he really messed up when he made love with the woman who'd been his best friend. And then ghosted her. Now, years later, he sees Francesca again. In Puerto Jardin. While he's undercover as a mercenary on an op to bring down an international arms dealer. Francesca Lewis believed she'd put Deck out of her head and her heart. Until she sees him again. But she's not falling for him a second time. It took her too many years to put the pieces back together. Besides, she's working. The Paladin League sent her to Puerto Jardin to find the Lost Treasure of Trujillo. But she and her team aren't the only ones hunting for the treasure and at least one group is willing to kill to recover it first. There's only one person she trusts will keep her safe and it's the one man she wants to avoid. Deck is determined to win Frankie back. If he can keep her alive long enough to convince her he's sincere and not looking for another one-night stand.
