This story takes place near the Russian border. Mal has been assigned to covert surveillance and guard duty over his boss's daughter who is an international aid worker. Mal is bored out of his mind and frozen solid. All he wants is to get away from the assignment and his boring little mark. Thinking a face to face "accidental" encounter might speed things up, he gets more than he bargained for when Abby takes him on a night he will never forget then just leaves. Normally sarcastic and surly at best, he had enjoyed himself with Abby. Abby, on the other hand, can't afford any real connections even though Mal was tempting. Her real job is bigger than just foreign aid worker and could be critical to preventing war. Their one time encounter makes Mal curious. No longer dying to get home, he sets out to find out just what Abby is really doing and ends up in the middle of one of the most dangerous missions of his life.
Abby was a great character. She was so fun and courageous and fierce too when she needed to be. She was exactly what Mal needed, someone who could kick butt and take names right beside him. Mal was another sexy alpha guy in a series full of them. Most of the military/ black ops style books I've read recently were set in the middle east. The frozen Russian border was an interesting change. As usual, I enjoyed this author's work.
I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
