author Kelly Irvin explores what happens when the past
explodes against the present and the only person you can
turn to is the one who broke your
heart.
When a college student dies at
Gabriella's feet after muttering her brother's name,
vicious gun smugglers believe she knows too much. And
they're determined to make sure she suffers the same fate.
With no one else to turn to, Gabriella reunites with her
former fiancé, homicide detective Eli Cavazos, to
investigate the dead man's murder and her brother's
disappearance.
In a desperate race against time,
Gabriella and Eli are determined to clear her brother and
find him before the gun smugglers can kill them both. Bit by
bit, they tear away the masks worn by men masquerading as
law-abiding citizens. No one can be trusted.
Working
as a team forces Gabriella and Eli to face the problems that
ended their relationship. She realizes she's the one who
needs to learn to forgive, but Eli must also learn to trust
her with his secrets.
This ragtag team must fight a
powerful ring of criminals protected by the very
institutions that should prosecute them in an all-out battle
that may cost them their lives.
