Publisher's Synopsis
A desperate woman and the soldier she betrayed must reunite for a deadly rescue mission in this military romantic thriller.
Exiled from his native Nicaragua, Manny Ortega is a man without a country-and he has one woman to thank for it. She was his first and only true love, and when she left, she left Manny facing a broken heart and a death sentence. Hardened by years as a freedom fighter and US Special Forces soldier, Manny is ready for a fresh start at his friend Ethan Garrett's security firm. But the past isn't ready to let him go . . .
As a Doctors Without Borders nurse, Lily Campora will never forget the week she spent in Manny's arms. She never imagined what would happen to him after she walked away-or how he'd hated her for it every day since. Seventeen years later, Lily knows everything, and she must put her fear of Manny's rage aside to beg for his help. His forgiveness may be too much to hope for . . .
Thrust into action on a mission that will transport them to a country on the brink of civil war, Manny and Lily must find a way to work together. And now, amidst the dangerous beauty of a landscape reminiscent of Manny's homeland, passion will ignite once more . . .
