When a food storage depot in famine-struck South Sudan is torched,
American aid worker Brie Stewart flees, only to land in a market where
she's the next item up for auction. Is the attack on the aid facility
another assault upon the war-torn fledgling democracy, or has her family
set her up as a pawn in their quest for oil rights?
Chief Warrant Officer Sebastian Ford crossed paths with Brie years ago
when she was a shill for her family's company, pushing a pipeline that
threatened his tribe's land. Determined to lead the rescue operation to
save her, he won't let her abduction - or the attraction that flares
between them - get in the way of settling their unfinished business.
The Green Beret's skills are put to the test in the flooded grasslands
of South Sudan, where they must battle nature and dangerous factions who
are after more than oil. Bastian and Brie put their hearts on the line
as they find themselves embroiled in a conflict that extends beyond
country and continent. Together they must douse the spark before it
reaches the flashpoint and engulfs everything they hold dear.
