Manny Ortega is a young and extremely gifted Sandinista
soldier fighting a Contra war in Nicaragua. During a
government-sponsored function, Manny maneuvers his way into
meeting the beautiful American doctor, Lily Campora. Seven
incredible days of exploring each other is all it takes for
Manny to fall in love with her; he even goes so far as
telling her things he shouldn't. However, an ultimate
betrayal and life-altering lie will separate them for 17
years.
Shortly after moving to Boston, Lily's son, Adam, is
kidnapped while participating in a student exchange program
in Sri Lanka. Frantic and desperate, Lily turns to Manny
for help. While searching for Adam, they both wrestle with
the truth about that fateful night in Managua. Can they
find love again, or is it too late?
What an intoxicating read!! This is the fifth book in
Cindy Gerard's Bodyguard series; it's amazing how
they each get better and more fascinating as the scope of
the characters grows. UNDER THE WIRE is witty, smart and
captivating, and I can't wait for the next Bodyguard
installment.
Manny Ortega is a man without a country, and he has one
woman to thank for it. She was his first and only TRUE
love, and when she left, she took more than his heart—she
took his life as he knew it. Hardened and honed sharp as a
knife by years as a special forces soldier and police
detective, Manny is ready for a fresh start at his friend
Ethan Garrett's security firm. But the past isn't ready to
let him go...
TO KEEP HER SAFE...
Lily Campora never imagined what would happen to Manny
after she walked away from him that night in the sultry
Nicaraguan heat—or how he'd hated her for it every day
since. Seventeen years later, Lily knows everything, and
she must put her fear of Manny's rage aside to beg for his
help. His forgiveness may be too much to hope for...
HE'LL DO ANYTHING.
Thrust into action on a mission that will transport them
to a country rife with political turmoil and civil unrest,
Manny and Lily must find a way to work together. And now,
amidst the dangerous beauty of a landscape reminiscent of
Manny's homeland, passion will ignite once more...
