L’agente della CIA Olivia Santos vive sul filo del rasoio. In quanto NOC – agente dalla copertura non ufficiale – conosce benissimo i rischi: se la sua copertura dovesse saltare, non ci sarebbe immunità diplomatica per lei, e il meglio che potrebbe aspettarsi sarebbe l’ergastolo in una prigione straniera. Il peggio è troppo sinistro per menzionarlo. Ma lei non avrebbe mai immaginato che la sua copertura sarebbe stata compromessa dall’interno. Olivia non ha altra scelta che darsi alla fuga, fortuna vuole, con il suo nerboruto istruttore di guida. Una volta, Trent Mann viveva per il pericolo. Ora, l’ex-Navy SEAL è tormentato da un errore che gli è costato caro. Si concentra sul suo lavoro per la Potomac Private Services per tenere a bada l’incubo. Ma quando si ritrova costretto a dare lezioni di guida difensiva a una frivola moglie-trofeo, non ci vuole molto perché la focosa bionda dagli occhi enormi li faccia finire entrambi nei guai. Presto, Trent e Olivia si ritrovano in fuga dal governo, da agenti stranieri, dal marito di lei e da un’infinità di nemici misteriosi. Mentre il pericolo raggiunge il punto di ebollizione, Olivia e Trent sono costretti a ignorare il fuoco che scoppietta fra di loro per concentrarsi sulla sopravvivenza.

When Trent closes his eyes at night, all he sees is Olivia’s huge blue eyes, full of fire. In his sleep, his hands trace her curves in the air. But every morning he wakes up alone in a cold bed. He doesn’t deserve her, he knows that much. And he’s determined to leave her in peace. Easier said than done. When they’re both called as witnesses in a federal prosecution, they’re marked for execution. Forced to stay together in a safe house, they do their best to avoid one another. But when the government safe house goes up in flames, they end up right back where they started: on the run with no one to trust but each other.
