I was given an assignment....they didn't tell me she was opinionated or brave or cunning or so beautiful, she made me forget everything. I almost lost my life, then I almost lost her. In the end...love won. I will forever be grateful for that assignment. After a unit buddy is kidnapped, Gabe Avery is assigned to keep her safe. He didn't plan on a wild ride from the Florida Keys to North Carolina and back to Texas, or on falling in love with the spirited woman. Eden Flannigan was used to doing things on her own. She didn't need some bossy man telling her anything, until she did.
