How does a simple marriage of convenience turn into a military romantic suspense where lives must be risked to save a child, a marriage, and interrupt a terrorism attack poised to kill millions?
 
"Complications here go beyond the usual hurdles and make the romance more touching for being hard won. And if the main action-Laura and Jake must combat terrorists amassing anthrax in the Florida Everglades-seems far-fetched, just read The New York Times. "  -Publishers Weekly

A deadly terrorist attack that could kill millions is brewing deep in the Florida swamps. It's Jake Taylor's job to stop it--and to rescue his wife, Laura, from its perpetrators.  From the start, Laura and Jake doubt they'll live a long, happy life together--not with their military connections.  He's a Special Ops soldier; she's a former Special Ops intelligence officer with an insider's knowledge of the risks he takes. So their marriage began as a practical arrangement, a marriage of convenience. The odds are high Jake will not survive this assignment and he needs to keep his young son out of the clutches of an unstable ex-wife.  Fully aware of this and equally determined to save the child, Laura doesn't dare to fall in love with her husband. Yet when they find themselves dead-center of the threat and they must work together to stop it, they discover they're fighting their most intense battle ever--for the child, for their own lives and for their marriage.
