Pele Tuitama's Morpheus Squad mission infiltrating a Smoky Mountain children's camp is FUBAR. He might be a virally-enhanced military experiment, but augmented abilities won't help him protect Reagan McNeill, the most unsecure-able target imaginable. Sweet Reagan's kisses and the possibility of a future he should never consider, distracts his laser focus. If Pele can't keep Reagan safe from an evil adversary bent on revenge against the entire McNeill family, then Reagan will die.
 
After a nasty breakup, Reagan doesn't trust any man—or herself. Enter handsome Pele, the world's worst camp counselor. She doesn't believe his story or his motives. When overly-protective Pele draws her close and then rejects her, Reagan is finished with games. Then the truth she learns rips open recently-healed emotional wounds. 

In order to escape through the mountains, Pele must share his deadliest secret. To have a chance at their future, they must reveal their demons and pray for acceptance ... and survival.
