When things go bad, in Michael's world things go horribly, terrifyingly bad.

It's been a year since hardened Navy SEAL Michael Stanton walked away from his career. He never thought to go back, but then his former commander calls with the news that an old friend was murdered while undercover - and he needs Michael's help.

Knowing the next dead body might be his, Michael takes his friend's place at the home of a terrorist. His official mission is to find all he can to bring the man's operation down. His personal mission is to find out who murdered his friend.

Mercy got the job as a maid that her sister had last held - just before she disappeared. With the police lacking leads and interest, Mercy decides it's up to her to find out what happened. Inside the huge home, she meets Michael and becomes immediately suspicious ... and immediately attracted.

When they collide in the worst way possible, she realizes he's not who he seems either.

Can they each find the truth about their objectives and about themselves? Or will the terrorist get wind of the traitors in his midst and take care of them before they can take care of him?
