About the book

The Secret Service can't control him. The British government can't silence him. But renegade agent Travis Caine is one loose cannon you don't want to mess with, so his commanders cut him a break and cut him loose. His new HQ is America's top intelligence force, Elite Ops. His new code name is Black Jack. And his new assignment is to die for. She's smart, sexy, scintillating and one of Elite Ops savviest agents. Lillian Belle's code name is Night Hawk, and Travis certainly wouldn't mind flying a few midnight maneuvers with her. But when their mission turns into a red-hot game of danger, deceit, and double-crossed signals, Travis begins to wonder: Can he trust her? Can he resist her?
