First published 2012
Johnnie Riggs tracks an elusive drug lord through dangerous territory. The former army ranger knows how to follow leads and stay focused on his mission. Then he meets Amy, an exotic dancer whose angelic face masks her desperate determination. Her sister has vanished, and Amy refuses to let anyone else handle the search. She needs Johnnie's military skills and connections. He needs to stay objective about his case. Neither planned on the electric pull between them. As Johnnie's hunt for the drug lord intersects with Amy's search for her missing sister, they uncover a web of corruption that runs deeper than either imagined. Someone powerful wants them to stop digging. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their investigation becomes. Amy and Johnnie must decide whether their growing feelings will distract them from survival or give them the strength to expose the conspiracy that threatens everything they care about.
