Set in the same world as Challenge protocol, Outside Protocol and Point of Combustion

Beck Corbett left something behind when he followed his team. Something he's been unable to forget, someone still haunting his dreams.

Seneca should have forgotten Beck. In fact, she made it a priority to get past the special ops sniper, but her heart isn't listening. Beck Corbett put other men to shame and she isn't prepared for the moment he walks back into her life just as abruptly as he left it. He's still everything she can't resist, but hopping back into bed with him scares the daylights out of her. She'll never be able to survive if he disappears again.

Men like Beck don't live their lives in the open. They melt back into the shadows without a trace. But Seneca's in trouble and Beck never takes any threat lightly. His special ops training means he won't listen when she says she can handle it. He isn't budging until the threat is neutralized.

And that leaves him very much within reach...
