But when a drug dealer puts their lives in danger, they realize a love deeper than either expected. It was more than another blind date ... It was DEA Agent Caden Cooke's third chance to impress beautiful chef Mia Martin. He'd already stood her up twice, and was shocked she was even giving him another chance. For Caden, taking down the bad guys is important, but Mia's made it clear there's no excuse for his bad behavior. So he's vowed to make it worth her while with an apology he's cooked up just for her. From the moment they meet, it's clear this isn't just another fix up. The sparks flying between them are undeniable; the tension is electric. Then, suddenly, the best moments of their lives turn treacherous when a drug dealer set on revenge puts their lives in danger. And Mia and Caden quickly realize they will do anything to protect the other -- and live for the love neither of them expected.
