Police Officer Dave de Marco puts his life on hold and heads to a remote area of Mexico to uphold the promise he made to Lisa in high school - to help her if she ever needed him.

When Dave and Lisa meet again, they both try to resist the attraction, but can't. Dave isn't free to give himself to Lisa because of guilty feelings and hurtful events in his past. Their present situation is dire. They have to stay ahead of the people who want them dead, while getting the evidence to clear their names.

Summary

HE WAS THE MAN SHE COULDN'T HAVE...
On a humanitarian mission to fly doctors to a remote village in Mexico, pilot Lisa Merrick discovers something sinister lurking behind the organization in charge. Her plane is sabotaged, leaving her trapped in the Mexican wilderness with a price on her head and no way out. Injured and desperate, she manages to contact the one man she knows will help her: Dave DeMarco, a tough but compassionate Texas cop she was once wildly in love with, a man who left her with nothing but a whispered promise that now provides her only hope.

...SHE WAS THE WOMAN HE COULDN'T FORGET
Dave DeMarco is stunned when a woman from his past phones him late one night with an incredible story of smuggling, sabotage and attempted murder. Just hearing Lisa Merrick's voice brings back memories Dave doesn't want to face, but a promise he once made leaves him no choice but to help her. Soon, though, his mission to rescue Lisa becomes a struggle for survival against an enemy who wants them both dead. When the danger they face clashes with the passion that still burns between them, Dave vows to protect the woman he never stopped loving and keep her in his life forever...
