“I know people you can't afford to know, Mr. President.” When mercenaries kidnap his daughter Charlie, the President turns to Lucia Malholland. Lucia turns to the Recondite Corps.
Charlie’s famous for her unruly behavior, but getting kidnapped isn’t exactly in her plans. Refusing to go down without a fight, Charlie manages to escape, only to find herself swooped up by a fiery-haired man who isn’t quite human…
Brian O’Connor has been in the office too damn long. Rescuing the President’s daughter from guerillas sounds like the perfect op: a little action, a little fresh air, an exotic locale. But somewhere in the midst of dodging bullets and fighting off mosquitoes the size of house cats, passion ignites between Brian and the independent Charlie. In fact, Charlie is messing up all of Brian’s plans for a quick in and out, and she’s coming perilously close to uncovering a secret he can’t afford to share
