This Christmas, the only thing more dangerous than the enemy . . . is the team you’re stuck with.

In a high-stakes virtual battle, Edgar "Edge" Valencia and his team are forced into a tense alliance with the deadly mercenary Larry Coughlin after a botched mission threatens their chance at victory. Edgar is a quick thinker, but even his skills might not be enough to handle the growing tension between reckless teammate Ronnie, the deadly Larry, and his growing attraction to the mysterious Lynn Raven. As the stakes get higher, Edgar must balance loyalty, rivalry, and survival—because in this game, every move could mean life or death. Can they claim the flag, or will their differences tear them apart?
