Summary

Soldier-turned-sommelier Chase Burke may have traded his rifle for bottles of wine, but violence & conspiracy aren't through with him yet. First, his intelligence analyst brother is killed in a covert op gone wrong & branded a traitor. Then an ambush at the restaurant where Chase works leaves the woman he is romantically involved with, a congresswoman, clinging to life. Scrambling to clear the family name & protect his secret love, Chase teams up with NYPD Detective Alice Doyle, a single mother fighting battles of her own. Together they uncover a powerful criminal syndicate whose unscrupulous influence sweeps the globe - & strikes painfully close to home. As elite mercenaries close in, Chase is dragged back into the dangerous world he thought he'd escaped. Facing a mother losing her memory & a past that never forgets, he fights to win a zero-sum game where trust can be lethal. But when all seems lost, an unlikely ally could help turn the tide.
