When CC discovers her best friend has been kidnapped, she vows rescue no matter the cost. Several clues and a threatening call from the kidnapper lead her to hop a plane to South Africa in search of her friend and the man who took her.

In a strange twist of fate, she arrives in Africa and soon finds herself flying helicopter gunships over the savannah, gunning down poachers. Not one to turn down free transportation, she uses her free time following clues that lead her closer to her friend’s location. Her gunner, Carter, an ex-DEA agent with an instinct for discovering secrets, tracks her every move—both in the air and in bed.

CC must maintain the delicate balance between her friend’s life, the kidnapper’s demands and Carter’s suspicious questions. Time is running out and each clue leads her further across South Africa in a hail of gunfire and missiles. Only her determination and skills as a pilot can save her friend and bring the kidnapper to justice without losing Carter’s love.
