A military hostage negotiator is willing to pay any ransom to win back the woman who hijacked his heart.Russell Hook has spent years talking people down from bridges, men out of suicide vests, and insurgents into releasing prisoners of war. But when it comes to his own life, talks to win back his estranged wife have broken down. Admitting defeat, Rusty finally signs the divorce papers...only to have his wife call him asking for a favor.Since she was young, Veronica Hook has hidden a secret from her loved ones; she's a closet romance reader. Now, she's authored a romance novel and wants the story out in the world -under a pen name, of course. The problem is that to get the loan necessary to cover the costs of publishing her book, Ronnie will need her estranged husband's help. However, when Rusty makes a condition of his signature on the loan documents that she gives him another chance, Ronnie is backed into agreeing even though she knows its a pointless tactic. Or is it? Ronnie's certain she can guard against Rusty's negotiating skills. Except for the fact that the reality of her husband starts to prove better than the dream man she's written on the pages. As Rusty chips away at Ronnie's resolve, he realizes he's lost the signed divorce papers. When these two learn what the other wrote down on paper will it rip them apart? Or will it put them back on the same page?
