Elizabeth Marlan is an award winning photojournalist who isn’t afraid of danger. In fact, she craves it. Just a day away from finishing her latest assignment, a bomb explodes in her hotel, leaving Elizabeth with no memory of who she is or who is trying to kill her. Injured and, for the first time in a long time, vulnerable, Elizabeth's only option is to turn to the one man who shattered her heart, Ethan Blane. Known as the "Machine," Ethan is rich, powerful, and ruthless when it comes to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Elizabeth, in his bed, in his life and in his heart. She's his only vulnerability, and his only salvation. Ethan is willing to risk it all to have her, even if it means losing his life to save the woman he loves.
