Held for ransom by a hideous overlord, the once fiercely independent Yasmin Sanders is now paying for her father’s deadly mistake. But she knows too much and fears the monster she’s forced to work for will never set her free.

Fearless ex-army hero and leg amputee Cole Tanner (Codename: Cobra) hacked into his first computer when he was twelve. That reckless action pitched him into an underworld that’s had him on a knife edge ever since. When Cobra cracks a supposedly unbreakable system, he gains intel on a shipment that could provide answers to the disasterous mission in Antarctica that he and his Alpha Tactical Ops team have failed to solve.

Cobra and his team launch a covert mission onto a freighter in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. But trapped in the rusted hellhole, Cobra discovers a fiery redhead hiding from the chaos, and she turns his world and his heart upside down when she unwittingly reveals a secret that proves the ruthless killers on the massive ship are the least of their worries. With the ghosts of his past hell-bent on revenge, will Cobra make the right sacrifice to set Yasmin free? Or will they both drown in mistakes that will trap them forever.

This steamy, opposites-attract romance is the fifth book in Alpha Tactical Ops, a series of standalone books with interconnecting characters featuring ex-military men and women and the partners trying to tame them.
