Architect Kate Jameson has sworn off men. That is until she meets Eric, the handsome son of her current client. Fresh out of a messy relationship with a coworker, Kate's not ready to trust her judgement where men are concerned. She dodges Eric's advances, but can't deny the attraction growing between them. Everythingâ€"especially his soul-searing brown eyesâ€"makes her want to throw caution to the wind and try again. At her sister's prodding, Kate finally agrees to date Eric, surprised at the joy he brings into her life. But when their budding romance is threatened, Kate is forced to make hard decisions and fight for her true happiness.

Undercover CIA agent Eric Wiley has survived enough loss in his life to ever want to risk being hurt again. He has long since given up on true love. Still, he's drawn to Kate in a way he can't rationalize. Avoiding her isn't working and for the first time in a relationship, he wants to be truthful about his past and his career. Before their romance can bloom, however, Kate goes missing. Recognizing the danger, Eric stops at nothing to rescue the woman who has captured his heart.
