Dare Macintosh operates by a simple principle: keep business separate from personal feelings. The professional mercenary accepts missions based on two factors: whether the cause interests him and whether the payment satisfies him. Then Molly Alexander approaches him with an unusual request. She wants him to find the people responsible for her kidnapping. For the first time in his career, Dare considers mixing professional duty with personal attraction. Molly refuses to depend on anyone else while she searches for answers. Her list of suspects includes several possibilities: her wealthy father who cut ties with her, her former fiancé who harbors resentment, or an obsessive reader of her successful novels. As threats escalate around them, Molly discovers that Dare provides her only source of stability. Yet her growing feelings for him may prove more terrifying than any external danger she faces.
