Nick Jensen, Code Name Lightning, was once a homeless, street-smart kid who survived by picking pockets on the French Riviera. Now a millionaire restauranteur - and chief of a super-secret US government agency - he heads back to France to discover who's trying to kill him.

He can handle the threat to himself with no problem. But not the fact that the unknown killers are also threatening Mackenzie Blair, Omega's communication's director. The woman has gotten under Nick's skin lately, and he's not about to let his past destroy their future.
