In one moment, everything can change. For Joanna Carmody, everything is falling into place. She is in a good relationship and her career couldn't be better. Michael and Bree are finally home from their vacation. The only thorn in her side is Agent Davis and unfortunately, there is no getting rid of him. Unable to forgive him for rejecting her and secretly seething about it, she puts on a brave face in his company. It doesn't help that he goes out of his way to infuriate and challenge her constantly. Thus, igniting not only her competitive streak, but also a desire for him that she would rather keep buried. Resisting him, is becoming almost impossible. If he could describe her in one word, it would be stubborn or sexy or exasperating or beautiful. Actually, he finds her too annoying to label. She confuses him; a woman like Joanna should come with a 'proceed with caution' sign. It was just one kiss and months later, she is still under his skin, heating his blood in more ways than one. Agent Davis has fought this insane attraction, keeping a safe distance from the only woman he has ever denied himself. Thanks to Bree, he now has to see her almost every day and his self-control begins to slip. One night, one event, one moment, was all it took to destroy her. Joanna will never be the same again after her violent assault. She can't face seeing the pity in Davis's eyes when he looks at her now and despite his need to be there for her, she pushes him away. Both of them have dedicated their lives to capturing the bad guy, neither of them ever expected to be caught up in that world. Undone by this traumatic event, they must face the future together and either pick up the pieces, or walk away from each other, for good.
