Publisher's Synopsis
The moment he realized she was in serious danger...he couldn't protect her.
At forty-five years old, Navy Captain Micah Reid had never married, for good reason...no woman in her right mind would put up with him, and he wouldn't tolerate the crazy ones. The secretive nature of his job as a commanding officer of thousands of SEALs working covertly around the world didn't help relationships either. With a new job at the Pentagon, he vowed to spend his free time with his friends living in DC and helping them solve the murders of Gabriel and Marsha Davis -- whose deaths lead to greater mysteries.
Berit Barker had earned every step of her way up the CIA ladder, no matter what the rumors claimed. She had worked twice as hard and three times as smart as her male counterparts while undercover in Third World countries, with the extra challenge of being a single mother. When asked to infiltrate a tight group of military friends in the DC area, she agrees, but only to find the true terrorists.
Friendship and lies never mix well, but love and deception can be deadly.
