This is a romance-spy novel with lots of pages of blazing love scenes. The thriller is about two ex-military
(male and female) secret agents whose cover is rough terrain biking as sports athletes riding through Mongolia. The couple also are employed as international secret agents and are about to be wed to eachother.
The protagonist is an American lady of Middle Eastern descent posing as and in hiding disguised with new identity as a Cherokee Native American, because her ex-husband and his uncle put out a contract on her for disgracing the family honor by divorcing (on her own) her ex-husband and distant cousin that she'd been obligated to marry too early in life by an arranged marriage. The contract is on her also for dating a European secret agent, her foreign-accented Finnish-Saami lover from a small town above the Arctic circle.
Both the protagonist and her fiance are on the secret agent-type job, assigned to investigate honor killings on the shores of the USA that originate on various overseas shores. As they travel around the world, the couple races on bikes and rough terrain vehicles to track down her raging ex-husband who is chasing after her around the world even to the deserts and highlands of Mongolia where's she's biking with her Finnish fiancé to their romantic wedding site.

When the protagonist’s spying ex-husband and his uncle put out a contract on the lady secret agent’s life, she has to leave her cherished California Bay area’s hiking and biking trails and bike through Central Asia and Mongolia with her Finnish work partner/fiancé in secret agent work. Couples can work together in spy work as secret agents or danger couples putting out fires and rages in more ways than one around the globe.
They continue to fall in love, and throughout the many tasteful romantic love scenes, do legally marry and become a couple of multicultural young globetrotting professionals who find happiness in the romance of living on the edge of their athletic life that ranges from jumping out of helicopters to put out forest fires to solving worldly problems.
They represent the multicultural nature of California lifestyle in the salad bowl of America, even when assigned to solve problems overseas. It's the couple's job to make sure no honor killings happen just because a lady needs a divorce so she can wake up in the morning knowing she's still alive and safe within the strength of a truly loving family--even if she has to create a new family alone that aims to keep her safe to reach her maximum intellectual potential.
The moral of this romantic suspense thriller (novel) is that it’s not nice to put out a contract on one’s ex-wife or niece simply because she’s a professional athlete, secret agent, puts out forest fires by jumping out of helicopters for the government, is career military, or she bikes around the world with her fiancé for a good cause, such as environmental protection, solving problems and measuring results.
