"The screen went dark. Black. Black as the night, and so did all of Addy's hopes for rescue."
Extremely dire straits. After Homeland Security Agent Addison Leigh is brutally attacked and suffers a severe head injury, she loses a considerable amount of her memory; both about the firearms smuggling ring that she was investigating and the devastating separation from her husband. She had called U. S. Deputy Marshall Mack Jordan shortly before her accident, but she can't remember why and he had not been able to take the call. That doesn't prevent Mack from dropping everything and flying across the country to be by her side.
Suffering from post traumatic stress after his years in the military, Mack Jordan had forced himself to leave his beloved wife after unknowingly trying to harm her during a nighttime flashback. It doesn't seem possible that she can't remember him. Assigned the lead role in investigating the case that Addy had become involved in, Mack pulls in his current team to assist. They had mere hours before highly dangerous weapons were scheduled to be smuggled across the Mexican border and into the United States. On the other hand, was that enough time to win back his wife's trust and affections? Mack could only pray that it was.
What a story! The sweetness of forgotten love provided such a romantic interlude in the midst of a high stakes investigative thriller.
"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, and love, and self-discipline."

BackCover Blurb:
Just as Homeland Security Agent Addison Leigh reaches the pinnacle of
her cyber investigation into a firearms smuggling ring, she's attacked
and left for dead. Her estranged husband, ICE Agent Mack Jordan, is
notified that she's at the hospital in a coma. He may have let his past
military trauma ruin their short marriage, but she never gave up on
their relationship, and he remains her next of kin.
Mack rushes
to her bedside, where he promises to hunt down the man who attacked her.
Mack failed her once when he bailed on their marriage, and he's not
about to let her down again. But when she wakes up in the hospital, she
remembers neither the attack nor ever being married to Mack. And when a
second attempt to take her life is made, it's clear something very
sinister is going on, and Mack and Addison are in for the ride of their
lives.
