"Julie Rowe blends the perfect cocktail of action & romance." — Brenda Novak, NYT bestselling author on Icebound
CDC nurse Joy Oshiro is stressed to the breaking point. College students are falling ill and dying, and no one knows why. And her new partner, Dr. Gunner Anderson, is frustratingly annoying—even if he is outrageously sexy—and almost impossible to avoid. But his background with Doctors Without Borders means he's specially trained...even if he's a nightmare to deal with.
Working together is challenging, but Joy makes Gunner laugh and help him forget—at least for a little while—his turbulent past and the crisis they're currently navigating. But each new clue keeps them one step behind the terrorists. Worse, every scrap of evidence seems to be destroyed the moment they discover it. Someone is determined to keep this outbreak under wraps...and cover their every move.
If they want a real shot at figuring out who is behind the attacks, Joy and Gunner must learn to trust each other. Because now they're in a race against time to find the cure...and avoid becoming the next targets.
