Tanner Akecheta is a member of a highly trained, secretive United States military group known as STUD: Special Tactical Units Division. Alessandra Bellini Wilde is the daughter of a four-star general. She's been kidnapped and is being held for ransom in a small, war-torn Central American country. Tanner's job is to find her, free her, and get her safely home. Tanner's expecting a spoiled rich girl. Alessandra's expecting a tough, insensitive warrior. What neither expects is the hot passion that flames between them--and the lies that threaten to tear them apart.
