But the terrorists always seem one step ahead. As they work side by side, Henry's taken with how Ruby accepts and respects him, instead of pitying him for all he lost overseas, including his leg. Ruby's hiding something, though, and Henry fears she's been leaking sensitive information.Terrorists have kidnapped her brother, and now microbiologist Ruby Toth faces a horrible choice. If she doesn't give them a vial of Small Pox as ransom, her brother will die. She knows her prickly-yet very hot-boss, Henry, could provide the help she needs.

Not even Henry.Each book in the Outbreak Task Force series is STANDALONE:* Viable Threat* Smoke & Mirrors* Sleight of Hand* Search & Destroy* Hell & Back
