A veterinarian on vacation over Christmas in Florida finds herself teamed up with an unlikely match–a DEA agent out to arrest her sister for connections to a drug lord in the Caribbean. But where family safety is concerned, both find their complementary skills are needed to save the ones they love.
Fun loving veterinarian Carla Krasinski is finally taking her dream vacation–a week in Key West. Working overnights in emergency means she sees all the critical cases… and no sun. So this week will be seven full days of brainless meandering and sunbathing. No life-saving decisions. No winter-white skin to make a vampire quiver with envy. Nope. Just a week-long stroll under the palm trees. Having her sister out of prison means Carla’s babysitting duties of her niece are also moot this week.
And the fact her new boyfriend proposed and expects an answer when she returns? Well, that’s what a week of no decisions is for, right?
She’s one cabana boy shy of unadulterated bliss.
When DEA Agent Gunner Fitz gets the call that a possible drug deal is going down–by a woman he incarcerated and who just got released–he knows he has to follow the lead to Florida. Not only will this woman lead him to the crime boss, but also his abducted sister, the reason he went into this field in the first place. Catch the bad guy, free the girl. He’s got this. But Gunner gets sidetracked by a woman on the plane, one whose laugh captivates him. After scant minutes in her presence, Gunner knows unequivocally this is the woman he’s going to marry.
And then he gets the email: Carla’s the woman he’s supposed to trail.
If Gunner tells her the truth about his mission, he’ll lose her. If he lies, he’ll lose her.
And when Carla’s only choice is to help Gunner rescue his sister, her decisions become matter of life or death.
