La última vez que Annie vio a Sam, yacían el uno en brazos del otro bajo un dosel de estrellas. Ahora Annie camina impaciente por un solitario aeropuerto, a medianoche, aguardando la llegada de un helicóptero sin marcas de la Armada. Su misión: conseguir que le agente que trae a bordo recupere la forma para regresar a la acción y mantener su identidad en secreto. Pero ¿quién la protegerá del hombre que la mira como si fuera una desconocida y no recuerda la noche que ella jamás olvidará?

Annie O’Toole and Sam McKade spent two perfect weeks together, and then they said good-bye - he sailed away while she watched from the shore. The farewell was heartfelt but tearless as they were both too strong to admit, even to themselves, just how much they cared - expecting never to see one anther again.

But that’s not the nature of these stories (thank goodness), we know that it’s only a matter of time before star-crossed lovers meet again, and always under unexpected circumstances. Sam becomes a national hero, risking his life to save a busload of schoolchildren and being gravely wounded in the process. Unbeknownst to him, the entire episode is aired live on television and Annie sees the whole thing.

Now the Navy needs a top secret safe house for Sam to recover in, and Annie and her resort have a stellar reputation for just that. She agrees, but is stunned to learn that not only is Sam physically injured but he has amnesia. He remembers nothing about her or the time they shared - or the terrible danger he’s brought with him…

I love Skye’s alpha male military heroes, and this tale of two people falling in love all over again is touching and makes me think that second chances just might exist (I know, I need to keep reminding myself that this is fiction)…Also I was excited about the reappearance of Ishmael “Izzy” Teague, the Denzel Washington look-alike and my favorite witty, high-tech, and hunky reoccurring character of Skye’s military novels. Eventually she’s going to have to get him a girl of his own!

about as bad as you can get.
