Facing the most dangerous mission of his life, Merrick is forced to rely on a sexy, maddening woman who insists she's his Beloved. Like he has time for that. Both need more time.... The closer they come to finding the truth, the more dangers lurk in the shadows. Worse, Merrick finds himself falling for Tempest's quirky take on life.
