As
the owner of a flourishing Latin American crafts boutique,
Karina Strauss should be basking in her success. Instead
she’s worried about her troubled sister, the girlfriend—and
prisoner—of drug lord Carlos Moreno. Kari wants no part of
that life, but when she helps a friend cross into the United
States illegally, two men on opposite sides of the law take
notice: Moreno and Adam Cortez, the handsome border
protection officer who lets Kari off the hook. It’s not just
Kari’s tantalizing flash of skin that catches Adam’s
attention—her drug cartel connections bring back the demons
of his past.
Moreno demands that Kari smuggle a
package for him in exchange for her sister’s freedom. Adam
also gets dangerously close, tempting her to surrender and
fulfill her wildest desires. As Kari prepares for the drug
run, dark secrets, violent criminals, and deadly
consequences lurk around every corner. But concern for her
sister drives Kari toward a terrifying act, despite Adam’s
warnings, despite her overwhelming fears—and despite the
odds against coming out alive.
