Navy SEAL commander Hawk McMillan is the man they send on the most dangerous assignments. Now he's onthe trail of a drug and arms-trafficking kingpin hiding somewhere in the mountains of Macedonia. While he prefers working solo, he will never be able to infiltrate his quarry's organization without help. His mission -- and his life -- depend on Amber Hutchens, an ace CIA tracker who knows the terrain . . . and whose fire and beauty are distractions that could get them both killed.

The biggest challenge will be resisting her attraction to Hawk - - a battle that's becoming more difficult by the moment. Because caring too much can lead to mistakes.

And one mistake will be too many ...
