A fight he must win. A passion she can't resist.

Piper Oliver knows she can't trust him. They warned her that black-ops soldier Jory Dean would try to win her over with his steel-gray eyes and deadly charm, but she won't be conned by the man they call a traitor. All she has to do is figure out the science to save his life—but something isn't adding up, and she won't rest until she uncovers the truth.

Jory will do anything to reunite with and save his brothers—even kidnap the gorgeous woman working to deactivate the deadly chip in their spines. But keeping Piper alive is more than he bargained for, and so is his burning desire for her. With every second bringing him closer to certain death, can he afford to lose himself in her embrace?
