When someone screams Tripp Shaughnesseys name, its usually a woman in the throes of passion or one whos just caught him with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar. Sometimes its both. Tripp is sarcastic, fun-loving, and funny, with a habit of seducing every woman he says hello to. But the one who really gets him hot and bothered is Glory Brighton, the curvacious owner of his favorite sandwich shop. The nonstop banter between Glory and Tripp has been leading up to a full-body kiss in the back storeroom. And thats just where they are when all hell breaks loose. Glorys past includes some very bad men connected to Spectra, men convinced she may have important intel hidden in her place. Now, with the shop under siege, and gunmen holding customers hostage, Tripp shows Glory his true colors: Hes no sweet, rumpled engineer from the Smithson Group, but a well-trained, hardcore covert op whose easy-going rep is about to be put to the test..
