Penning a profile of Rio's hottest star-studded plastic surgery spa, writer Sydney McBride is going under the knife herself--all to revive a sagging career. But there's a bigger, more scintillating story afoot for the daring journalist. When a mysterious, incredibly hot fugitive seeks refuge in her bungalow, Sydney agrees to let him pose as her boyfriend--hoping to gain his confidence. Too bad Lucas Fox trusts no one. After uncovering an astounding conspiracy, Sydney and Lucas team up to prevent a global catastrophe: a terrorist organization marketing a virulent form of biotoxin plans nightmarish demonstrations of its deadly product. Going to war against a world-hopping wizard, Sydney and Lucas find themselves working side by side, stopping along the way for only the most scintillating pleasures. The drop-dead gorgeous T-FLAC operative's paranormal powers may be flickering, but his bedroom skills rocket Sydney to breathtaking heights she didn't know existed.
