Navy SEAL LCDR Ian Chase returns home disillusioned after a brutal mission in Afghanistan to take the helm of the Chase Group, a billion-dollar venture capital and private security company. While at a fundraiser, Ian encounters Cassiopeia Ellis, a breath-taking and care-free art historian who spends a magical evening with Ian, which leaves Ian smitten and sweet Cassie bewildered by a sensual goodnight kiss. Unfortunately, Cassie's life changes sending her on a torturous and horrific journey that leaves her broken and memoryless. Six years later, Ian finds her again, now as Cassie Modine, an FBI Agent assigned to the Art and Cultural Property Crime Division. Names changed but feelings have not, as Cassie still makes Ian's heart beat hard in his chest. When tragedy strikes, Ian delves deep to find what Cassie is hiding to keep her alive. Cassie's desire to protect Ian from her past may destroy them, and the future of the United States lays in the balance.
