Synopsis Commander Jake, an American soldier known for her cold precision, unshakable discipline, and zero tolerance for distractions, never expected love to be her next battlefield. Now leading covert operations, she's more comfortable dodging bullets than emotions-until she crosses paths with Gabrielle Laurent, a razor-sharp French diplomat with an effortless elegance, old-money charm, and a talent for getting under her skin. What starts as a diplomatic negotiation gone wrong turns into an unexpected game of cat and mouse, where stolen glances, sharp banter, and accidental rendezvous blur the lines between duty and desire. Gabrielle is everything Jake isn't-witty, indulgent, and impossibly French. But as their connection deepens, Jake finds herself in uncharted territory, torn between her commitment to her mission and a woman who makes her want to break every rule. With political stakes rising and secrets lurking beneath the surface, Jake and Gabrielle must decide-is this just another operation, or is her heart the real fugitive?
