author: Womack, Betty
description: Start with one woman who finally realizes her current love has been misplaced and demeaning. Add one man who screwed up his marriage and now distances himself from the subject of long-term relationships. Then, add a blazing gun battle in the Nicaraguan jungle. Jessica Fontana is a Seattle-based Special Ops agent and engaged to a man who insists she give up her job because his society-minded family doesn't approve. Texas boy Jake Claypool is a Special Ops agent who married a society girl when he was too young to realize sexual desire goes out of the bedroom window when war is waged in every other room in the house. Now, the FBI is his only passion. Sent on a dangerous mission to Nicaragua, new partners Jessica and Jake have to be tough enough to survive, but will they prove tough enough to let themselves fall in love?
