Stan Stamper

Pitting billionaire terrorist thugs against a rookie CIA agent would normally be the prelude to a hasty funeral. But Carissa Johnson defied the odds to survive not one, but two years before she had to play her trump card...a 9 mm bullet.
What not even the CIA saw coming was Tanner Stone, the gorgeous hunk who would steal her heart. Special Agent Carissa Johnson was stunned to learn the West Point grad was a Special Forces Commander on direct assignment by the President—to identify the woman who was laundering the dirty money from power-crazed Sheiks on the Arabian Peninsula—HER!
Both her father and her grandfather were decorated fighter pilots and she, too, became an accomplished pilot after her father returned home in a flag-draped coffin.
Carissa struggles to protect her identity while she and Tanner follow their hearts on brief visits to the heartland and to exotic European locales.
When ultimately cornered by al Qaida kingpins and power-crazed terrorists, Carissa puts her life on the line for a politician she despises, in hopes of saving the only man who ever touched her heart.
