DEA Agent Charlie Nash barely survives a shootout in a
warehouse, escaping with a couple of bullet holes in him.
Someone at the DEA exposed his undercover operation to the
Garciela drug cartel he has infiltrated. The cartel has
killed two of the men on his team, and now he needs to
find
the mole at DEA and bring him down, along with the cartel.
As he escapes with two gunshot wounds, he wrecks his truck
on a deserted back road in Kansas City. However, the road
is not totally deserted. Teresa Rodriguez uses this back
way home from her job as a pediatric nurse at the
hospital.
When she sees the truck slammed into a tree, she stops to
see if there is anyone injured. She finds Nash unconscious
in a pool of blood. She tried to help him, but he draws
his
gun on her and demands that she patch him up and get him
back on his feet. He can't trust anyone at the DEA right
now and needs her help. Can he keep himself hidden and
Teresa safe until he can figure out who the snitch is at
DEA and bring this drug cartel down? Can he keep his heart
safe from this feisty woman he's kidnapped, who can give
it
back to him just as hard as he can dish out?
Nash and Teresa spend most of this adventure on the run
from the bad guys, but who can tell the bad guys from the
good? Both are very strong characters with defiant
personalities. Teresa's family is smothering her all the
time about being careful. They get drawn into this fiasco
when she and Nash have no one else to rely on. The plot is
continually taking unexpected turns as Nash and Teresa are
literally running for their lives.
