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.

“You hurt me.” She wanted him to know. “I cried over you and Riel. I lost both of you at once.”
His jaw tightened. “I know and I’m so damn sorry. More than you know.” His hand settled on her hip, his fingers flexing slightly as his gaze dipped to her chest again. “You deserved better than that. Better than me.”
Her nipples tightened even harder, the peaks becoming almost painfully aroused. She didn’t just want him looking at her. It didn’t matter that he’d hurt her. Okay, it did matter, but some primal part of her wanted the release she knew he could give her. She wanted his mouth on her breasts, teasing them until she was begging for more.
Cade sucked in a deep breath, his nostrils slightly flaring, but he didn’t say anything else or make a move to touch her. And she wanted him to. Sex should be the last thing on her mind, but she could lose herself in him for just a little while and feel no regret.
“No,” he said quietly, correctly reading her thoughts.
“No, what?”
“I know what you’re thinking. You’ll regret it in the morning.”
“How do you know what I’m thinking?” she whispered. And what made him think she’d regret it later?
“Because I’m thinking the same thing.”
Oh, damn. Now he was just trying to make it harder on her. He wanted her and she wanted him. The awareness sparking between them made her entire body flush with heat. They might have history and baggage between them, but it didn’t take away from the attraction simmering. It had always been there too, even when she was younger. But it hadn’t been as potent as it was now.
He let out a low curse, then pulled her to him. Her breasts pressed against his chest as she curved into the strength of his long, muscular body. Maybe she should be angrier at him, and she still was for the way he’d up and cut her out of his life, but damn, she was exhausted and had just lost her mom. She didn’t have the energy to hold on to any more anger right now. “Just go to sleep,” he murmured in a soothing voice that belied the tension she felt humming through him.
Oh, how she wanted to. But with the press of his erection against her belly, she had a feeling it was going to be damn hard to rest.
