It's a long way from the jungles of Colombia to a Colorado library, where Special Forces operative Creed Rivera is staking out one of the world's most dangerous women. With her prim librarian looks, Cordelia "Cody" Stark doesn't look like a nuclear arms broker. But nabbing her is Creed's latest mission--until a trio of thugs shows up and he's suddenly forced to play hero.... Armed with secrets that could ignite a global inferno, Cody was already running out of places to hide. And now a hotshot government agent has blown her cover by throwing himself between her and certain death. Trusting the hero who just saved her life is not an option. Resisting him is something else entirely. And when bullets start to fly, a man and a woman running out of time are gearing up for the wildest adventure of their lives....From the Paperback edition.

If I'm going to indulge in some harmless romance, I tend to prefer it with a dash of espionage and adventure. I will wander the aisles of my local secondhand bookshop for cheesy cover art with a leggy vixen and a gun-toting male... or vice versa. So this book, judged entirely by its cover, was right on the mark. Would you believe that, with just 50 pages to go, it jumped the shark in such a way that even I had enough? Yup. There is a difference between cheese and cheez-whiz.
