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, Deputy U.S. Marshal Zach
McBride, a former Navy SEAL, 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.
