Mary Benton is a beautiful, but tough Army MP who loves the action of being an MP, but when she is assigned to be a nursemaid to a General's son she is sure the action is over.  The General's son turns out to be a twenty-one year old genius with five PhDs, a mind like a computer and zero social skills.  Mary empathizes with him, but all Mary wants is action and she gets plenty when terrorists kidnap him.
