Laria Skai has never known the truth of who she really is, nor her place in the tapestry of fate; but destiny has set her on the path to face her fears, learn to love, and rise up to the woman she has always been. At the same moment she meets the love of her life, she is swept up in a dangerous hunt from the last man she ever expected to have any connection to. With time running out, Laria must decide if she will hide from the cross that she bears, or face it head on so that she may protect the one man whom she loves more than anything in the world. Zachary Kenz is the elite of the elite, serving as team leader for Delta Force Squad A. He is a man who has everything; skill, strength, and even the full confidence of the President of the United States. But the love of his life is still out of his reach, and his need to have her in his world can no longer be ignored. When fate finally places her in his path, his heart is immediately overcome with her, but before he can grab onto her and pull her in, an unexpected danger rears it's wrath, putting at risk everything that he holds dear, leaving Zac no choice but to unleash the deadly soldier inside him against the evil that dared threaten his woman. Never underestimate the lengths at which a true man will go to save the woman he loves; no matter the danger, no matter the odds, and when that man also happens to be a trained operator...the devil himself best get out of the way.
