'She needed help. Someone brave. Someone tough. Someone like a rough and ready Marine. When Mercy DSilva, discovered her ex-boyfriend was behind an elaborate people smuggling movement, life as she once knew it, ended abruptly. Finding herself on the run with no idea who to turn to for help, her days seemed numbered. For Chase Maloney, everyone around him seemed to be moving on, while he was simply marking time. When he decided to take a short break from groomsmen duties to go fishing, the last thing he expected to catch was a beautiful woman! It wasn't in his nature to turn his back on anyone in distress; especially not a woman, and especially not one who made him want to rethink his entire future. But protecting Mercy would prove somewhat difficult when she fought him every step of the way to keep him from getting mixed up in her problems. Can they outrun a vicious killer, and hand over the evidence to convict him, in time? Or will he find them first and inflict swift vengeance?'
