  Joni Bellâ€™s life as a former American military helicopter pilot has grown complicated. The only way to rescue a spy sheâ€™s come to love and keep a promise to a child whose father is a political prisoner in Africa, is to assist the CIA. Can she do all this while trying to keep one step ahead of a traitor in her midst?
  Former Special Forces soldier Ian Taljaard is avoiding Zimbabwean intelligence (CIO). They want him stopped after he aided the imprisoned finance minister in uncovering government corruption and secrets they need to keep buried. Now Ianâ€™s pressing goal is to find where the CIO is keeping the minister and free him. The last thing Ian wants is for captivating American Joni Bell to risk coming back to where the CIO wants her dead. Yet Joni does return, with support from the American CIA and unwelcome help from a fellow pilot assigned as her escort. Ian fears the duplicitous CIA is hiding the true mission once again and that Joniâ€™s coworker harbors secretsâ€¦secrets with the potential to kill.
