Captain Cat 'Valkyrie' Richards knows it's easier to be alone. As a special ops soldier she's worked too hard to achieve what she has to jeopardize it by having a fling with a fellow soldier. Besides, she tried that once and the results almost shattered her. Now she's stronger and focused on the mission at hand. Nothing will distract her. As a Navy SEAL, Rhys 'Lucky' Lafayette knows how to achieve a mission no matter what the odds and when Rhys sees Cat he zeroes in on his target. She let him get close once before and he's determined to make her see the benefits of it again. But when E.D.G.E. sends the pair to recover a senator's son kidnapped by the Boko Haram, the simple rescue turns into something much darker and deadlier. Will Cat and Rhys be able to forge themselves into the necessary fighting force able to accomplish the mission or will they be pushed to the edge of reason.
