They come from different worlds, and they have a difficult time trusting. The passion is explosive between them, but it may not be enough to bridge their worlds. Can the ugly duckling find true love with the Cup Companion?

Passion at 10,000 feet Hard missions and high altitudes, that's what Captain Mike Shafer, 10th Mountain Division, US Army, is all about. He never hesitates, not even when tasked with stopping a deadly virus from exploding in the Himalayas. At least, not until he finds out he's going in with a single partner—Lucy Merritt. A woman. Soft. Super-feminine. No military background, no combat training, armed with just a PhD in art history. Worst of all, she's gorgeous. Another word for 'deadly distraction.' Then Mike finds out that Lucy isn't a hindrance to the mission. She is the mission. He's just the muscle. Lucy Merritt has made a point of creating a life for herself that's safe, unadventurous. She's already paid her dues to the CIA, having lost both her CIA operative parents in Nhala, a small Himalayan kingdom, long ago. In her book, they've taken quite enough from her already. But they tell her that her country needs her. That she's the only one who can go into Nhala undercover, with the dour but undeniably sexy Captain Mike at her side, posing as her fiancé. It's a disaster waiting to happen. She's a strong, independent woman, and here she is, melting when a tough, sexy warrior smolders at her. She can't resist Mike's protective tenderness, and the blaze of attraction between them—though giving into it could cost her everything. Then all hell breaks loose in Nhala, and Mike and Lucy will need all their passion and power just to survive…because it's not just their own lives at stake.

From throne room to bedroom, I'm royally screwed... As Prince, I could have it all. Problem is, I don’t want it. Any of it. I just want her. I've never embraced my status in the royal family as Prince Sandor Gustaffson... until now. The head of security for the royal family, I'm used to being in the shadows, but after eleven years I'm forced back into the spotlight. My family works to rebuild our country, while I'm pulled in a million different directions. But the only direction I want to look is to her: Lennox Briggs. She’s been a thorn in my side since she was brought in as the first woman on our security team. Getting involved with her would be a mistake. Lennix is more than qualified, but a distraction I can't afford. Too bad my heart—and other regions—aren’t listening. After so many years protecting the people I love, how do I choose between my heart and my duty? Because I definitely can’t have both.
