Summer in Southern California doesn't get any hotter than this. When Levi Boulter agrees to work for the FBI behind the scenes in Hollywood, he never plans on becoming an operative-or on keeping a deadly secret from the love of his life. On the night he plans to propose to his girlfriend, Mahari Gillaspie, he's attacked by a killer and thrown into fully operational status. Despite his lack of training, his job is to thwart a plan to assassinate the President's wife, putting everyone he knows, including Mahari, in danger. He's determined to keep the woman he loves safe, even if it means losing her forever. When Mahari steps off the cruise ship she's worked for months, she dreams of a future with Levi and an acupuncture practice of her own. Mahari's faith in Levi is shattered when she stumbles upon Levi and a beautiful actress. Their relationship lays in ashes, but she feels called by God to silence her broken heart in order to treat Levi's injuries after he's injured in an explosion, but he slams the door on her efforts. Later, she's plunged into the heart of the trouble when she finds Levi's landlord murdered. Will Levi's secret divide them forever, or will they come together in time to stop an assassination?
