With his dying breath
Carl Venable
head of the CIA task force on terrorism and Jude Brandon's final link to terrorist ringleader Max Huber
gives Brandon a mandate: to keep his daughter
Rachel
safe at any cost. But Rachel Venable has a shocking
twisted past of her own
one that comes rushing back after her medical clinic in Guyana is attacked by Huber - the same man who murdered her father and kept her imprisoned for months. Brandon and Catherine Ling
Rachel's longtime ally and fierce protector
are determined to keep Rachel out of danger
but she knows that it's impossible to stay hidden when Max Huber wants you dead. As Rachel and Brandon race against the clock to bring Huber down before he can orchestrate a nuclear explosion that will lay waste to the west coast
they also fight a growing attraction to each other - an attraction that could prove just as dangerous as Huber himself.
