The FBI's top negotiator. A one-night stand. And a fake marriage neither of them saw coming.
Quentin Savage is used to being in control. Leading the Crisis Negotiation Unit means talking down armed criminals, not running from them—and since he was widowed, he keeps everyone at arm's length. Then Haley Cramer, co-owner of a private security firm who prides herself on her independence, chooses him for a night with no strings.
Hours later, terrorists storm the luxury hotel, and Quentin goes from esteemed keynote speaker to powerless captive. For reasons he can't fathom, the gunmen want him alive. Haley survives only because he claims she's his wife.
Held in the jungle of a remote Indonesian island, they plot their escape from a ragtag army of brutal thugs. Haley refuses to play the helpless female, no matter the odds. But questions remain. Who is the real enemy? Why was the conference attacked, and why was Quentin a specific target?
Hostage negotiators can talk themselves out of anything—except falling in love.
