HIS MISSION WAS CLEAR—AND FAILURE WAS NOT AN OPTION.
BECAUSE THIS TIME, IT WAS PERSONAL

Buzz Richardson survived as a navy pilot and a covert operative by following one rule: handle the unexpected. Partnering up with Raven Pierre, his ex-fiancée, who's still his sexiest fantasy come true, might be against all the rules.

Keeping this new Raven safe only resurrected the desire between them…and letting her go this time was the one thing he wasn't willing to handle.
