Five years after the divorce, Ethan Garrett finally has it all figured out. 

Focus on the job, forget about the past and do what he has to do to get by.

The job – continue to build E.D.E.N. Inc., the West Palm Beach security firm he now runs with his brothers and sister.

The past – specifically the part involving his ex-wife, Darcy – was history.

And getting by – well, it’s a matter of taking it one day at a time. At least it is until Ethan receives a desperate call from his ex-wife’s friend in the State Department and the past collides with the present in an explosion of urgency and alarm.

Darcy is missing from her vice consulate post in the Philippines and Ethan confirms his worst fears: all indications are that an Abu Sayyaf terrorist cell has kidnapped her and is holding her in the jungle.

Whether on assignment in Peru, Israel, or Indonesia, Darcy had always been sticking her neck out, taking reckless chances to help U.S. Citizens abroad. It had played havoc with Ethan’s peace of mind during their marriage – it had also been one of their biggest problems. Darcy had refused to back down to Ethan’s demand to play it safer or play it without him – and he’d been too stubborn and too proud to withdraw the ultimatum. She’d walked away five years ago and never looked back. But now she’s in trouble and it looks like Ethan is the only one with the know-how, the cunning and the balls to get her out alive.

With grim determination, Ethan and his brothers, Dallas and Nolan – also former military special ops – prepare for a mission involving slipping quietly into Manila, calling up markers with some contacts there and setting the wheels in motion to lead them to Darcy.

Though Ethan hasn’t seen her since the divorce, he’s never gotten her out of his system. He’d killed for her once; he knows he’ll kill for her again. But first, he has to find her.
