When sabotage downs their helicopter in the mountains, Gallagher finally gets the up-close and personal time he's been craving with fellow agent Carmen Olivera. After their rescue, the saboteur's trail sends the Devlin Group to Africa, where Carmen tries to revert back to her cold, professional self. But Gallagher isn't ready to let her go-not by a long shot. As the Group gears up to rescue a young woman held hostage in the well-guarded compound of a guerilla warlord, Carmen tries to shove her long-time attraction for Gallagher-now jacked up by one mind-blowing night-back into its mental corner. No matter what her heart says, there's no future with him. They're from different worlds-not to mention the effect a failed relationship could have on the job. But as the mission gets blown all to hell, they find the African jungle has its own brutal way of deciding who has a future at all...
