CIA covert operator Savannah James is after intel on a potential coup in
the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but she needs a partner fluent in
Lingala to infiltrate the organization.
Sergeant First Class Cassius Callahan is the perfect choice, except he
doesn't like her very much. He doesn't trust her, either, despite the
sparks that flare between them, fierce and hot. Still, he accepts the
assignment, even though their cover requires Savvy to pose as his
mistress.
They enter battle-worn Congo to expose the financing for the coup. A
trail of cobalt, gold, and diamonds leads them into the heart of
darkness, a jungle in which everyone is desperate to find the mother
lode of ore and gems. Betrayal stalks them as they follow the money, but
Savvy will stop at nothing to bring down the would-be dictator before he
can ignite a firestorm that will engulf all of Africa.
Deep in the sultry rain forest, spy and Green Beret forge a relationship
more precious than diamonds, but Cal knows Savvy is willing to sacrifice
anything - or anyone - to complete her mission. As they near the flash
point, Cal will have to save her from the greatest threat of all:
herself.
