Paradise Bay Resort was supposed to be the perfect honeymoon destination-two weeks of Mediterranean bliss for newlyweds Allison and Ramirez Antonious. But when a wounded special operations soldier appears on their balcony in the dead of night, their romantic getaway becomes an international conspiracy that could cost thousands of lives.

Captain Moheb "Phoenix" Suarez isn't just Ramirez's childhood friend-he's the sole survivor of a military team ambushed while trying to prevent a devastating weapons system from falling into terrorist hands. With his team dead and dangerous arms dealers controlling the resort, Phoenix needs help from the only people he can trust: the brilliant newlyweds whose honeymoon suite has become his last refuge.

Dr. Sarah Louis, a weapons researcher turned whistleblower, has hidden critical intelligence somewhere within the luxury resort before disappearing. As Russian arms dealer Viktor Kozlov's forces close in, Allison discovers that her gymnastics skills, quick thinking, and innocent appearance make her the perfect covert operative. Ramirez's strategic mind and protective instincts transform him from honeymooner to tactical coordinator.

From romantic dinners to life-or-death missions, from couples' massage appointments to weapons cache discoveries, Allison and Ramirez must navigate their new marriage while preventing an international catastrophe. When love is tested by bullets and betrayal, they discover that the strongest partnerships are forged under fire.
