Surviving capture and torture during a covert ops mission can mess with your head. Aidan Sterling's recovering now, but his bosses aren't sure if he's up to returning to active fieldwork---and neither is he. A career in covert intelligence doesn't lend itself to luck in relationships, until he meets Kris.Kris Jameson has more patience and understanding than most. A construction job supplemented by being a part-time bouncer makes his life fairly average and predictable, but danger comes when you least expect it. Will Kris live long enough to teach Aidan that love and trust can be found with the right person? (Prequel to In Danger and Under Fire) A.R.
