Chela Reola is dedicated to helping her people any way she can. These days, that means teaching English to Hispanic migrant workers. But it wasnβt so long ago it meant working as a coyote, smuggling illegals across the border.
When sheβs approached by an undercover cop asking her help to take down a cruel coyote whoβs cheating illegals, she has no choice but to agreeβeven though sheβd be working with a man with the power to arrest and deport her people.
Joe Magadan is driven by hatred of the coyote whoβs exploiting the desperate and powerless immigrants, but heβs having problems building a case against the slippery Ray Kohl. But with Chelaβs help, heβll have someone on the inside. He never expected her quiet courage would get inside the barriers surrounding his closed-off heart.
Working in close quarters breaks down their emotional walls and forges a bond. But when Joe learns Chelaβs deepest secret, the fallout could blow not only their carefully planned sting operation all to hell, but their fragile love.
