This is part 1 of 2 and ends on a cliffhanger. Shanice Lawrence has met the perfect man. He's sexy, considerate, and best of all, he loves to read. She's certain she's found the man of her dreams--until she learns the real reason for his appearance in her life. Cruz Cordoba's mission was simple: Get close to Shanice, retrieve the data, and kill anyone who gets in his way--including her. But he didn't anticipate falling for the voluptuous bookstore clerk. Now he has to decide what's more important--the mission, or the woman.
