      Her fiancé, a marine held captive for months in a war-torn country, is back on American soil…with secrets.

      For six agonizing months, Sidney Parker had no idea if her beloved fiancé, a US Marines captain, was alive or dead. Held captive in a South American dictatorship, Nick Corelli is suddenly back home in Texas. But instead of the romantic reunion Sidney expects, Nick is working with the CIA—and another mysterious agency—on a covert mission. One that places Sidney’s life in jeopardy. When the safe house meant to protect them is compromised, Nick rushes Sidney to a mountain retreat…and now she wants answers. Yet their greatest enemy is lying in wait for the ultimate showdown.

       Nick. It was really him.

      Sidney couldn't see his face, but she knew it was him.

      She took off running. She crashed into the glass wall. Her palms splayed against it. “Nick.”

      He turned. His hands met hers against the glass.

      Sweet Lord, was this possible? She stared, unblinking. If she closed her eyes, she was afraid he'd disappear.

      He came around the wall through the door and reached toward her. She latched on to his hand, laced her fingers through his. He was thinner than the last time she'd seen him. His complexion was pale as though he'd been ill, but this was definitely her fiancé.

      She lifted her hand toward his face and touched the V-shaped scar on his jaw.

      “Oh, Nick, I missed you so much.”

      “It's okay. I'm here. I'm back.”

      But there was something different. When she peered into his eyes, she didn't see the man she had once loved with all her heart.

      Nick Corelli looked back at her with the eyes of a stranger.
