They are a covert, black ops team known only as Team 52. Their mission: to secure and safeguard artifacts deemed highly dangerous and classified.

Former Naval Intelligence officer Brooks Jameson might have lots of muscles and ink, but he's a proud geek. He loves computers and his job-taking care of all things tech for his covert, black ops team of badasses-Team 52. But when he finds himself snatched off a Las Vegas street and in the hands of some very bad people who are after a powerful, dangerous artifact, he knows he's in a fight for survival. Then his teammate Callie Kimura-gorgeous and way-out-of-his-league-strides through the door to rescue him...

Callie's childhood and career in the Air Force taught her to never risk loving anyone, because losing them leaves you bleeding. She has everything she needs as the medic for Team 52, and when Brooks gets abducted, she'll do anything to get her friend back. But when they end up on the run together, Callie starts to see the hunky geek in a very different light.

As Callie and Brooks battle to stop a deadly artifact being used in an evil plan, they ignite a scorching desire that shocks them both. But some scars-and the demons that made them-run deep, and Brooks knows he'll need all his intelligence, patience, and love to convince the beautiful combat medic to let her heart be free.
