First published 2012
Jake Cantrell doesn't answer to executive Sage Dumont. Her grandfather hired the former special forces Marine to protect her, not take orders from her. When a suspicious shipment arrives at Marine Drilling International, Jake's combat instincts kick in. Something feels wrong about this delivery. Sage dismisses Jake's concerns as mere paranoia from a hired gun. She runs a business based on facts, not hunches from security personnel. But Jake's track record makes her reconsider. Determined to prove him wrong, Sage launches her own investigation into the company's operations. What she discovers in the shipping records terrifies her. The details she uncovers were meant to stay buried. Jake and Sage find themselves trapped in a conspiracy that reaches deeper into Marine Drilling than either suspected. As the danger escalates, so does the attraction between them. They must navigate both the external threat and their growing feelings. The truth they're chasing may destroy everything Sage has worked to build.
