Toni Larson has a simple life. She works at a diner, and the world makes sense. When two men settle in at her table for breakfast one fateful day, however, this seemingly random meeting will change that simple life-and everything she believes about her government, her human rights, and her future-forever. Blackhawk and White Wolf are operatives for the Agency, the most closely held secret in a world of secrets. Outside of the elite group of agents themselves, a total of three people in the government are even aware of its very existence: the president of the United States, the secretary of defense, and the head of the Agency. The operatives who work for the Agency follow only one directive: do whatever it takes to get the job done, no matter what. Unsuspecting civilians are routinely enlisted for participation in covert operations in which using a trained operative is not feasible. White Wolf suggests that Toni, a gorgeous redhead, would be perfect for their next mission, so Blackhawk starts to woo the unsuspecting waitress-as a means to tricking her into assisting in the operation. Soon, Toni finds herself inextricably drawn into a world of intrigue that will take her from her home in Atlanta to the Bahamas and to the forests of northern Maine. She leads a dangerous rescue mission into the Central American rainforest before ending up in the mysterious Black Hills of South Dakota, where she discovers a growing love for the dark and rugged Blackhawk.
