Wounded in action, the only thing former Navy Seal turned security expert Archer Lincoln wants is to be left alone. But when he finds himself the focus of the tabloids and gossip columns, he has no choice but to go to the enemy for help.

Ambitious New York Beat reporter Trinity Black wants to move to the news desk. She knows it's where she belongs, even if nobody else thinks so. But the only way to do that is to snag the story of a lifetime. When she is approached by Archer for help rehabbing his public image, she is reluctant to help. After all, she isn't exactly his favorite person. Especially not after an article previously written about him by her. But knows this is the one things she needs that will propel her to where she wants to be, so Trinity agrees.

But as time passes and she gets to know him, Trinity realizes he isn't the man she and everyone believes he is. And as Archer gets to know her, he realizes he's been wrong about her. Can these two stop fighting long enough to fall in love, or will their plans blow up in both their faces?
