While investigating border violence in Ciudad Juárez,
Mexico, Denver journalist Natalie Benoit is caught in a
bloody ambush and taken captive. Alone in the hands of
ruthless
killers, she will need every ounce of courage she possesses
to survive.
Betrayed by another operative, Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal
Zach McBride has endured
a week of torture and interrogation at the hands of a
bloodthirsty Mexican drug cartel.
Ready to give his life if he must, he remains unbroken—until
he hears the cries of an
American woman.
Although Natalie is only a voice in the darkness of their
shared prison, her plight brings
renewed strength to Zach’s battered body. With her help, he
overpowers their captors,
and they flee through the desert toward the border, the
attraction between them flaring
hotter than the Sonoran sun.
But past loss and tragedy leave both of them reluctant to
follow their hearts, even
when the passion between them reaches its breaking point.
Faced with feelings neither
expected, they fight to stay ahead of the danger that hunts
them as forces more powerful
than they can imagine conspire to destroy them both…
