Terrific book that dropped me into the middle of intense action and didn't let up until the end. Nissa is a CIA analyst working with a SEAL team to locate and capture an elusive Russian operative. She is not a trained field agent and spends much of the book scared spitless, but she does what needs to be done.

Cole is the SEAL team leader, code name Frosty for his ability to bury his emotions and get the job done. He's been a SEAL for many years and is a few months from retirement. Unfortunately, Nissa proves to be an unexpected distraction to his determination to capture Petrov.

The book opens with Nissa and the team attempting to board a ship that Petrov is reportedly escaping on in the middle of a hurricane. But when they get aboard, they discover the ship is deserted and about to capsize in the storm seas. They barely managed to escape and had to beat the hurricane back to land if they wanted to survive. I was glued to the pages as they struggled to find shelter and then wait out the storm.

The intense suspense of the story continued as Nissa, Cole, and the rest of the team continued their search for Petrov. Nissa's brilliant detective work brings them closer to their goal and puts a target on her back. The danger intensifies when Nissa uses herself to bait a trap, and an unexpected twist puts them all at risk. The final puzzle piece led to a confrontation that had me glued to the pages until it was done. Cole and the team were great, but Nissa was amazing.

I enjoyed watching Cole and Nissa's relationship develop. The sparks between them are immediate and explosive, which freaks out Cole. He's never had this kind of reaction to a woman, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. Colw is especially worried because he feels it is a distraction that he can't afford if he is going to keep Nissa safe. He also has trouble believing anyone could love him knowing what he's done. Nissa's reaction to his insecurities and vulnerability was fantastic, and I loved seeing the effect on Cole. Cole's big moment at the end was lovely.
