Jolene Benate is a US Deputy Marshal. She worked hard to get on the all man warrent squad and wont let anything jeopardize her spot in the team. But Jolene wasnt anyways the tough Deputy Marshal. Six years ago she was a sweet and nieve 20 year old who thought she'd found the man of her dreams and married him. Less than a year later she was a widow and as hard as she's tried she hasnt been able to be with anyone else since. When an attempt is made on her life and she is shot the Marshals put her in protective custody but an elite Army team takes her from there to a secret Army base where everything she thought she knew about her husband and what happened to him is a lie.

Turns out her husband isnt dead after all. Paul Benate is one of those freakinly smart men that works soley on Goverment top secret projects. He knew 6 years ago he had no business getting involved with Jolene but he couldnt resist the strange pull she had on him. He decided that she was to innocent and weak to be able to handle what she would have to being his wife and chose to let her believe he died. But now that his worst fear has come to life - a terrorist wanting to kidnap Jolene to get him to coroperate with them - he has no choice but to have her brought to him.

The new and improved Jolene doesnt take her husbands deception well. But even though she is mad at him the two of them cannot deny their strange attraction to each other is just as strong today as it was all those years ago.

This was a decent romantic suspense that at times got a bit wordy but the concept and the story was a good one. ( )
