After years of bureaucracy and playing by the rules, Cannon is at the end of his rope. He's seen behind the curtain where money matters more than the law. Cannon is done caring. He's followed all the procedures and danced to everyone's demands, playing the perfect agent. Now, he doesn't care. Let the world burn. He'll still take that paycheck, though. Cannon is owed that. When he finally goes too far and finds himself in the hot seat, Cannon has no intention of giving them the satisfaction of seeing him squirm. He's done being their victim. They have no idea what they've unleashed.

Xan isn't exactly on the right side of the law. Well, that depends on who a person asks. Some days, he runs a secret CIA program, negotiating eliminations. Other days, he liaisons between crime lords, killers, and the highest offices in the land. Someone has to do the dirty work. Cannon's prior dogged determination turned ticking time bomb is a problem he can't ignore. He has to get the guy out of the way before he blows a whole lot of people's lives out of the water. Xan just doesn't expect Cannon to be quite so cooperative... or irresistible.
