to Danger Synopsis:
At
a benefit dinner, community activist Maria Cervantes overhears two men plotting
a terrorist attack that could rock Miami to its core. But before she can alert
authorities, she’s almost killed in a massive explosion—and wakes up in a
hospital with no memory of what happened. As the sole survivor of the attack,
she is now a person of interest to the NSA—and especially to Agent Cade
O’Reilly. Because Maria is the one woman Cade has never been able to
forget.
Years ago, they were closer than either was willing to admit—until Cade disappeared when Maria needed him most. Now he’s sticking by her, whether she likes it or not. Because the memories locked inside her mind could hold vital clues to the next attack. Because terrorists want her dead—and because he never wants to let her go again.

Excerpt :
E
Cade had more questions for Maria, but seeing her so peaceful and watching the
steady rise and fall of her chest and soft breathing made him show restraint.
She’d surprised him by dozing off so quickly, but he knew she needed the sleep.
His gut told him she wasn’t involved directly, but she had to know something.
Otherwise that terrorist wouldn’t have been in her room.
The NSA and
pretty much every three-letter government agency was working on finding the
bastards who’d bombed the Westwood mansion. His job was simply to check out
this angle. Though there was nothing simple about being in close quarters with
Maria Cervantes.
He still couldn’t
believe the jackass way he’d asked her if she’d been involved with Nash Larson.
It had been unprofessional and not like him. His control was rock solid.
Always.
It was the way
he’d learned to deal with life. He’d lost his mom at a young age and been sent
to live with her brother and his wife. His aunt and uncle had been religious fanatics,
but they’d taken care of him well enough. They hadn’t been abusive, so he’d
been fortunate in that regard. Still, they’d been adamant that he should be
grateful he had a roof over his head, that he shouldn’t
complain about anything. Translation: He shouldn’t expect warmth or love from
them. So he’d learned early not to show emotion. Emotion equaled weakness. And
any he’d had left when he turned eighteen had been drilled out of him by the
time he finished boot camp.
Until he’d met
Maria. She’d been twenty-one, so full of life and almost innocent in her view
of the world. Home on leave with her brother, Cade had been smitten when they
met. But as she was Riel’s sister, there was no way in hell he’d have ever made
a move on her.
But one night
they’d all gone dancing at a local South Beach club and Riel had left to hook
up with some girl and Cade had been left alone with Maria. They’d danced all
night and when they’d returned to her parents’ place—where he’d been staying
with Riel—she’d kissed him. It had taken him so off guard he hadn’t stopped
her. Hadn’t wanted to stop it until his sanity won out. She’d been surprised
that he’d put the brakes on, but she’d also seemed to think it was a good idea.
Probably because of her brother. They’d never talked about it afterward, so he
didn’t know for sure.
He’d left the
next day with her brother, headed back to base, then the damn desert. But Maria
had stayed in touch with him and it had been impossible not to write back. He
wasn’t sure when it had happened, but a couple of months after their
correspondence started, he’d began to fall for her.
Hard.
Then Riel had
been killed in action and everything in his life had gone to shit. The way he’d
cut contact with her was fucked up. He knew that.
