The news they're after isn't fake—it's deadly

For top security expert Parker Lawton, the anonymous threat is explosive. Return the gold stolen during his intelligence unit's last Iraq mission—or they'll each be hunted down. And when one of his men is killed just before meeting investigative reporter Rebecca Wallace, he must take her under his "protection." But her persistence in getting the real story is even more dangerous—and irresistible.

For a dashing war hero, Parker is the most guilty-acting innocent man Becca has ever seen. Still, working with him is the only way to stay ahead of a ruthless enemy. And as her instincts and Parker's skills hone in on the truth, trusting the desire simmering between them could be their only chance—or the last move they'll ever make.

When danger strikes, will he be able to keep her safe as things are falling apart around them? This story is riddled with fast-paced intrigue that keeps our attention and has us anticipating havoc at every corner. The romance is light, but the story line is exciting enough to hold our attention until the end. Really enjoyed Parker & Becca!

Security expert Parker Lawton isn’t sure what to make of correspondence he receives threatening to expose he and his former Army team in regards to an important mission they were on in Iraq. He sets out to get answers as to who is up to no good, but is quickly thwarted when one of his men winds up dead, and he realizes he’s not the only one looking into the matter.

Investigating journalism producer Rebecca Wallace is extremely irritated with Parker when he makes it impossible for her to do her work in chasing down answers on this case. When bad guys keep popping up around them, they are destined to remain in danger until they put their minds and their connections together to bring this realm of terror to an end … their sizzling attraction may get in their way of keeping their mind in the game though!
