Lieutenant Margaret "Margo" Peterson makes herself a target to catch the criminals running an abduction ring. She needs help for this dangerous assignment, but her choice of partner creates unexpected complications. Dashiel Riske stands six feet four inches tall and approaches life with easygoing confidence. Women find him irresistible, and he returns the interest freely. Margo prides herself on staying controlled and professional, yet Dash makes her defenses crumble. Working undercover together means staying close, touching when necessary, pretending intimacy that starts feeling real. Margo discovers that beneath her partner's relaxed surface lies something darker and more intense. When the case turns deadly and threatens Margo directly, Dash shows he will do whatever it takes to protect her. The investigation forces them to work side by side in increasingly intimate situations. Margo must decide whether she can trust this man who awakens desires she usually keeps buried.
