After snarky NSA analyst Si is "killed" to protect a government secret, he takes his greatest pleasure in bringing down those who abuse their wealth and power--at least until he's sent to a black site to retrieve intel with Holt Pressley, a mercenary and former soldier who was kicked out of the military for major issues with authority. But getting the intel is the easy part; getting out alive will take all their combined espionage skills and black-ops expertise. Si has a plan, though, and if it succeeds, he'll complete his mission, get his revenge against the person who "killed" him, and win the heart of the burly mercenary who never thought he'd fall in love.
