A great career, financial stability, and the looks to attract any woman he chooses, Dr. Daniel Bennett was a man that had it all. But he is also a man with a secret that haunts him while he's awake and threatens to kill him while he sleeps. Four years ago an encounter with Africa's most notorious and ruthless warlord ended in a massacre and a brutal murder he hasn't been able to forget or forgive. The once outgoing and celebrated doctor has now become a cold and heartless recluse, intent on living a life free of emotional commitments. Until the United Nation's top crisis counselor; the incredibly beautiful and determined Ayana Burundi walks into his life forcing him to face his emotions and the darkest moments of his past. But for Ayana there is only one thing driving her; bringing the warlord Kronte "The Terror" Kroma before the international courts to answer for his crimes against her people and the doctor is the key. What begins as a simple request quickly turns into a struggle of wills and emotions as Daniel and Ayana's lives fall into a collision course between love and a warlord willing to do anything to silence anyone that threatens his freedom.
