Dark Horse Agent Kevin "Pipe" Daniels considers his assignment as security detail to Skye Peterson a joke-until they are both nearly killed in an explosion. Now not only is it serious-it's personal. He likes Skye, too much, and puts personal feelings before his job. Kevin convinces Skye to fake his own death in order to draw out the killer. Then it's war. Skye doesn't want to listen to the arrogant beach bum Dark Horse sent him to find out who's been breaking into his house. But after spending a heated afternoon in Kevin's arms, he realizes there's more to the gorgeous agent than he lets on-and Skye aims to find out what he's hiding. A tragic turn of events uncovers the killer and pulls Skye out of hiding against Kevin's insistence. Will Kevin be able to stop the killer before Skye becomes the next to die?
