Former Navy SEAL Keegan Hunt has spent fifteen years avoiding Venezuela. When his team is hired to rescue four Americans, he risks blowing his cover by returning to Caracas. If that wasn't bad enough, the very woman haunting his dreams since he'd left the cursed country ambushes their mission.

When Kara Medina infiltrates an express kidnapping to recover insect-sized robots, she encounters a special ops team with a similar objective. As she engages in combat with one of the soldiers, she's shocked to realize he's the same boy who kept her safe at night in a dangerous camp. When the job goes haywire, she realizes her attraction to him hasn't diminished over the years. Instead, it's amplified to a whole new level of complicated. But she can't let her feelings for him stand in her way of completing the mission.

With new intelligence discovered, Keegan and his team's priorities shift. To succeed, he turns to Kara for aid. As the stakes escalate with a threat to US politicians, their goals converge, but Keegan refuses to leave without Kara, even if it means trading his life for hers.
