"Dr. Raleigh Foster knows that her job as an operative for a top-secret intelligence organization is risky... and she plays by the rules. That's why she doesn't hesitate when asked to infiltrate Scimitar, the terrorist group that has stolen lethal environmental technology. But when Raleigh learns that she will be assigned a partner to pose as her lover, her enthusiasm for this high-stakes plan begins to fade. That is, until she meets Adam Grayson. Sexy and brooding, Raleigh senses an immediate chemistry with Adam... and fears a passion that might make her lose all control. Adam isn't all that thrilled to be working with Raleigh. He is sure that she's to blame for the death of his best friend, even as he blames himself for the botched mission. But the closer he works with his sexy new partner, the more his suspicions turn to trust... and burning desire. Now, as Adam and Raleigh untangle a twisted web of secrets and lies, the tension mounts... and their masquerade as a couple proves too tempting to resist." -- from dust jacket flaps.
