Overview

Kit Bennings is an elite military intelligence agent working undercover in Moscow. When he is compromised by a brutal mafia don and former KGB general he knows that his military career, if not his life, will soon be over. With nothing to lose he goes rogue in the hope of saving his kidnapped sister and stopping the digital theft of America's deepest secrets. Yulana Petkova is a divorcee, devoted mother, and Russian weapons engineer. And maybe more. Spy? Mob assassin? The shotgun marriage to stranger Kit Bennings takes them on a life-or-death hopscotch from Moscow to Los Angeles, from secret US military bases to Las Vegas, where she uses her wiles at every turn to carry out her own hidden agenda. Hunted by killers from both Russia and the United States, Bennings struggles to stop the mobster's brilliant deception―a theft designed to go unnoticed―that will make the Russian mafia kingpin the richest man in the world, while decimating the very heart of America's economic and intelligence institutions.
