FBI agent Tasha Jones is absolutely driven. Not only is her career on the fast-tracked, but she has assembled and is leading an elite group of agents, including the strikingly handsome Abe Williams, who acts as her bodyguard. As the best of the best, Tasha's team is the go-to for powerful government agencies.

When the son of a prominent judge is kidnapped, Tasha follows her instincts and plans a dangerous rescue. As the team executes its plan with precision, its members realize the boy is in the hands of a serial killer, Houston Sealy, a maniac they've been tracking for months. Never one to overlook details, Tasha ultimately foils Sealy's plan to take the young boy's life. It appears his rampage is over.

As they celebrate having Sealy once again behind bars, Tasha and Abe find themselves fighting their mutual and growing attraction. The team's heroics, however, have only fanned the flames of Sealy's fervor for revenge, and the team's victory is cut short when Sealy escapes from incarceration.

Tasha must now struggle to maintain control of both the case and her growing attraction to her bodyguard as Sealy plots to make her pay.
