A killer hides in the shadows…
Special Agent Andrea “Drea” Hall had done her probation year out of Camp Pendleton, California and soon receives her first assigned position: NCIS Field Office Annapolis, Maryland. Before she is told to report to her duty post, she is summoned to the Navy Yard to meet with the Director of NCIS. Highly recommended by a colleague due to her performance at Pendleton and because of her former LAPD undercover work, Drea is tasked with posing at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis as a Professor of English to determine if some of the hazing deaths at the academy were deliberate murder. Her contact there is Captain Thane Michaels, retired navy pilot and brother to her Pendleton colleague. Problem is Drea has an irresistible draw to pilots, but finds that relationships with them don’t work out so well. But when she meets Thane and has to work closely with him, she finds out exactly what irresistible means. Keeping her wits about her while searching for a cold-blooded killer has to be her top priority, even if her heart has other plans.
Captain Thane Michaels is sure that someone at the academy is orchestrating deaths during hazing rituals and he mentioned it to his sister who takes it up the chain of command at NCIS. The next thing he knows, this blonde bombshell is added to the teaching roster and he’s appointed as her contact and mentor to give her legitimacy while she investigates. Thane is still handling his bitterness at his forced retirement from flying a Super Hornet due to an ejection injury that grounded him. Grumpy on his best days, he does love teaching at the academy, routine helping him to compartmentalize his life, keeping him in check. But Drea undermines his restraint from the moment he meets her and keeping his hands off her becomes a study in control until the tension between them crosses all boundaries. Surrendering to the enemy never felt so sweet.
