Renowned cryptologist Noelle Blanche refuses to have blood on her hands. So when the military asks for her help in a covert operation, she refuses--until masked gunmen raid her home and threaten her life. Suddenly it's all too clear that any blood spilled may be her own. Noelle has no choice but to trust the dangerous stranger sent by the military to safeguard her. A stranger who is everything she detests, everything she fears...and everything she desires.
Former Delta Force operative David Wolfe thought he had left it all behind--the horror, the hurt, the guilt. But now the men who savagely murdered his wife have set their sights on a brilliant cryptologist who can lead them to the cache of weapons they prize. As passion ignites between David and the woman he's sworn to protect, what began as just a mission escalates into the fight of his life. But can he prevent history from repeating itself?

Ben Whalen, who looks like a younger Harrison Ford, and Maggie Spencer, who looks like "Michelle Pfeiffer at her most vulnerable," meet at her father's funeral. Like other heroes of his kind, Ben is an ex-cop who has the requisite battle scars, facial and emotional: several years earlier, someone raped and killed his pregnant wife. Now, he is an insurance investigator sent to Michigan's Upper Peninsula to find out if Maggie's father's death was accidental. Someone, it appears, is out to kill the now middle-aged members of a group of college boys once called the Sexy Six. As Ben and Maggie fall in love, they search for the killer. As usual, the villain is a psychiatrically challenged serial killer who lurks in the shadows spying on the hero and heroine and has a series of whacked-out, italicized monologues. Ben's scars, and the killer's, are supposed to add depth and interest to their characters, but most readers will find them tiresomely familiar.
