Bound by broken hearts and a shared hunger for redemption, Jim Jakes and Vanessa Scott forged an unbreakable bond in the crucible of U.S. Army training.
Both shattered by betrayal, Jim by a cheating wife and a treacherous best friend, Vanessa by a lover who discarded her like yesterday's promise; they sought solace in duty, vowing to serve their country and leave love behind.
But in the chaos of a deadly training camp explosion experience, their guarded walls crumbled, and a spark ignited under the desert stars.
Now, on the cusp of retiring to build a life together, their dreams of a forever-after are shattered when Jim is handpicked for a classified mission: to assassinate the Russian Prime Minister. Unbeknownst to him, the mission is a trap, orchestrated by shadowy forces tied to a powerful drug cartel and a corrupt congressman.
Marked for elimination to erase any trace of the plot, Jim survives the betrayal, but at a cost. Now hunted by both the government and the cartel's ruthless assassins, Jim and Vanessa are on the run, armed with explosive evidence that could topple empires. As secrets unravel, including a long-lost brother turned killer and a twin's hidden past, they must navigate a deadly web of loyalty and deception.
With love as their only refuge and danger closing in, can they expose the truth before it buries them both? In a world where duty demands sacrifice and love is a battlefield, Jim and Vanessa will fight for their future, or die trying.
