Washington D.C. in 1942 is the center of the American war effort. Hester Lowbridge, a codebreaker for the military, uses her miraculous talent for languages to do her part. She has been asked to try to communicate with a mysterious man who can’t speak a word of English, or any other known language. She doesn’t expect to meet the love of her life.

Jack is desperate to find a way to communicate. How can he convince the sexiest woman he’s ever met how much they need each other when he can’t speak? Why, seduce her of course! His touch inflames Hester and scorching semi-public sex results whenever—and wherever— they meet.
