When Jack's cover is blown, he's tortured for information but manages to escape. Naked and disoriented, he stumbles into the woods near the rural Virginia vacation home of Professor Morgan Rains. Since Morgan's husband was killed by a robber a year and a half ago, she's been going through the motions of living. As Jack and Morgan flee for their lives from the militia, he uses his Navy SEAL training to help them survive while the other two Rockfort agents search for them. Neither Jack nor Morgan felt they had a reason to live until they met each other. Thrown into a pressure cooker of danger and intrigue, they find themselves falling in love, although Jack can't admit his true feelings. When Morgan is captured, Jack and his associates risk their lives to stop the attack on the U.S. Capitol, thwart the moneyman who financed the deadly scheme, and rescue the woman whose life now means more to Jack than his own.
