One fatal vote. Two broken souls. And a conspiracy that could finish them both.

Ex-military operator Lena Rebel has spent two years hunting the truth behind her fiancé's death. Now working for Stryker Security, her latest assignment posing as a nanny brings her face-to-face with Marshall Rand-the congressman whose vote may have sealed her fiancé's fate.

But protecting his son means seeing beyond her anger to the haunted man beneath.

Marshall Rand's wife paid for his mistake with her life. Since discovering she was murdered to manipulate his congressional vote on military funding, he's dedicated himself to making amends. When his son becomes a target, he turns to Stryker Security-never expecting his son's protection to come in the form of a woman with every reason to hate him.

As attacks escalate and force them deep into the Alaskan wilderness, Lena and Marshall discover their enemies aren't just after revenge. They're cleaning up loose ends.

And some truths are more dangerous than the killers hunting them.

For fans of Sandra Brown''s complex suspense and Catherine Coulter's political thrillers.
