When a battle-hardened Navy SEAL known as "Iceman" finally gets leave to decompress, the last thing he expects is to combust with his best friend's little sister—a brilliant, fearless DEA agent who's deep undercover investigating a deadly drug ring. Morganna has always been off-limits, the one woman who could melt Clint's icy exterior, but when her dangerous mission puts her directly in the crosshairs of ruthless criminals, his protective instincts and passionate feelings ignite into something neither can ignore. As Clint works to keep her alive while she pursues a case that could take her down, their explosive chemistry becomes the only thing hotter than the danger closing in around them. This is a thrilling ride of action, tension, and the kind of all-consuming love that makes you believe even the toughest warriors can surrender completely.
