OUT NOW!
It was a tough DEA/CIA/SEAL mission that led Buck to Maritza Navarro, but the moment he saw the Costa Rican beauty, everything seemed to stop, then click into place while all kinds of sparks flew. It's not until later when he meets her back in San Diego by chance that they are able to do anything about the sizzle. Buck spends several days with her and is walking on Cloud 9 when he's detained by the CIA and DEA for an undercover mission. Someone on her plantation sold them out, and the DEA, CIA and US government want payback. Buck's tagged to go undercover to investigate her and the family for any wrongdoing. It goes against Buck's nature to lie to Maritza, but his mission is classified.
Maritza worked for her family and she had no time to spare...until she meets Buck. After a few nights of passion, she wonders how they could possibly make it work with him in California and her in Costa Rica. But she is surprised when the whole SEAL Team, DEA, and CIA descend on her family's coffee plantation to protect them for retaliation from the drug kingpin the Americans were hunting. His presence makes her wonder if she can change her workaholic ways and reach for happiness and love that just seems like a big step away.
Maritza was born and raised in two countries, the United States and Costa Rica. Her mother is a wealthy American philanthropist, tied to a powerful political family, and her dad is the owner of one of the oldest coffee plantations in the country. After spending most of her adult life dedicated to her family and the business, she finds it so easy to fall for Buck’s cowboy charm and his warrior attitude. But when she’s business, she’s all business, and keeping her family safe and her family business intact is more important than anything. Except she can’t forget that night with him and the longer he’s close to her the more the pressure builds, and that one-night stand turns into something more when he returns to the plantation. He’s so down to earth, so real compared to the men she’s encountered, unaware that Buck is keeping secrets affecting her whole world. But when life and death is on the line, all that matters is survival.
