The mafia, a smuggling ring and the wilds of Alaska are no match for this special operative. But a brazen redhead might be.

Elias Gasper's known as the do-it-all guy. From HALO jumps to calming hostages, he's on it. When he stumbles across a woman in hiding, he meets a new challenge in getting her to talk. While he's willing to add breaking through her silence to his list of skills, fighting his attraction still needs work.

Ruby Ryan is an alias, but doing anything it takes to save herself is real. She's used to switching sides, so cozying up to a hunky military man proves easy...maybe a little too easy. Not only are his kisses irresistible, but he has a way of making her laugh-something she hasn't done in a long time.

Gasper's abilities are tested even more when he must choose between helping his team and saving the strong woman with a hidden sweet side. His motto of "quitters never win" is his driving force, because for this mission, he's going to defend his teammates as well as the woman he'd give his life for.

Sparks fly and the steam rises off the pages of this smoldering military romance. Enemies to lovers, all the action and a few corny jokes are sure to keep you reading well past bedtime!
