Counterstrike

One lonely day in Kansas farm country, a college professor is en route to a new job. Then, she encounters her biggest surprise ever. He is a handsome, intelligent, and faithful FBI agent.
He is also battered and mangled with his equally battered and mangled government car at the side of the road. Kate soon finds herself mixed up in the dark world of Agent Gareth McFadyn. That is full of spies, terrorists, hackers, and corrupt bureaucracies. Her planned road trip, and career move, are ultimately derailed. But in the middle of this unforeseen mess and intrigue. Kate and Gareth together discover their similarities. And not their starkly different class backgrounds and upbringings. Together, the unlikely pair find a deep and lasting companionship. A binding faith in their God. A passion for fun and adventure. And more importantly than not, a burning will. It is to survive against all odds. That is when the evil machinations of Third Wave terrorist leader Klaus Vogle. These, along with some bad scummy office politics.
And the selfish and greedy scheming of the industrial tycoon Father of Gareth, Andrew McFadyn. All of this seems to be conspiring against them. Thus, begins the modern-day fairy tale of a chivalrous knight and his fair and wise maiden.
