Long-buried feelings...only she can help him face.
Can be read as a standalone. HEA.
The woman who stole Jessica Reynold's identity should have done her homework. A forensic auditor, Jessica reacts quickly to the security breach, setting out to Puerto Vallarta to stop the charade. Soon after arriving, she witnesses a murder and is relieved yet irritated when gruff Secret Service consultant Spencer Abbott steps in to help her.
Spencer is also annoyed. He took this job at the request of his college buddy, because he thought it'd be a lucrative, slam dunk case. Protect Jessica, while locating the identity thief, and then hop on the first plane to Aspen to hunt down ski bunnies. One look at Jessica, and Spencer finds himself uncharacteristically concerned about the intellectual beauty's safety. Even worse, she stirs up in him long-buried feelings that threaten to unhinge him. Spencer knows for the sake of his sanity, he should stay out of Mexico, but before long, he becomes hopelessly ensnared in the tangled web woven by her stray social security number.
