All the training in the world can never prepare you for the things you would be willing to do for someone you love. The lines that you would willingly cross to save the thing most precious to you. That training, those lines, and your very self is now being tested. What lines are you willing to cross? What will you give up to see that all you hold dear is once again safe?
    
    Just remember one thing...appearances can be misleading... and lethal.
    
    Jack is just that, a Jack-of-all-Trades. Need something stolen? He can steal it. Need someone killed? Consider it done. Keep your end? He'll keep his. Just one rule: No women or children.
    
    What will happen when he crosses paths with a former agent with nothing to lose and will do whatever it takes to gain back the only thing that matters.

Working against them is a notorious thief who has met people from around the world, but who has never once encountered a woman like Melody Scott. When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family.
