Reclusive Dr. Erin Cross, the 29-year-old scientist in charge of research and development at Timpanogos Research Industries in Lehi, Utah, lives an uneventful life. She works, she reads, she does little else. Until an ordinary lunch at her favorite deli goes horribly awry. When a shooter bursts into the restaurant, Erin assumes it's random violence. That assumption melts when she discovers the lab where she works has been locked down and her townhouse has been ransacked. Someone's trying to get to her. The question is who? And why? 
Erin's terrified, but has no idea to whom she can turn. She has few friends, none of whom she's willing to put into danger. There's only one person she can think of who could possibly help her—Sean Flannery, the ex-Marine who took on the shooter at the deli. Before she knows it, she's on the run with the handsome, enigmatic Sean. He makes her feel safe and maybe something more.
As the two of them try to figure out who's behind the threats and violence toward Erin, a greedy virologist is up to no good on a remote island in Hawaii. Can Erin and Sean figure out what's going on in time to stop Dr. Krantz, saving the lives of a small group of indigenous people, or will their own lives be snuffed out by a powerful organization bent on ruling the world?
