Sarah Cavell is a beautiful, brilliant cryptographer with the uncanny ability to crack any code. But her most daunting challenge may be reading the true feelings of her new "husband," Rafferty Lewis, the secretive federal agent to whom she's just been assigned. Sent on a perilous mission to a Caribbean nation teetering on the brink of revolution, the two must go undercover as husband and wife to make contact with a shadowy informant passing on cryptic messages that could trap a terrorist.
Pilot, sharpshooter, and accomplished yachtsman, Rafferty prides himself on being the epitome of coolness under pressure. But in the aftermath of a marital tragedy that exposed his vulnerable core, the prospect of pantomiming intimacy with a woman of Sarah's intoxicating allure has him unnerved, to say the least—and that could prove deadly for both of them. Dodging danger at every turn even as passion's magnet draws them closer to each other, these two make-believe lovers will learn that the heart is a puzzle they can only solve together.

" Why do I keep reading these??? "
— Staci, 8/13/2013" Just too bland to hold my interest. I stopped listening after disc 1 of 4. "
— Melanie, 8/13/2013" Ok, another quick read on an airplane. "
— Jackie, 7/16/2013" One of Kay Hooper's early books and definitely before she had developed her flare. This book was trite and rediculous. "
— Grace, 3/22/2013" I listened to this via Audio, the story was boring and the narration for all male voices was horrible. I finished it only because it was audio and short otherwise I would have dropped the story. "
— Sue, 9/1/2012" This book didn't engage me - partly because it was part of a series and I hadn't read the earlier books yet. Rafferty seems like a good man and Sarah was interesting, but the pace moved too quickly. There was insta-love and a bit too much angst for my liking. "
— Harriet, 8/2/2012" Part of the Hagen series. Too cute! Great starter books. "
