A corrupt D.A.'s office. A powerful drug and human trafficking cartel.
Sun-soaked beaches stretching from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas.
This is the backdrop for a gripping romantic mystery filled with suspense, danger, adventure and a touch of spice.
Amy Stevens' fifth birthday celebration south of Tijuana ends in tragedy when her father and sister vanish without a trace. Her mother, shattered by trauma, is institutionalized, leaving Amy to grow up alone haunted by guilt and relentless nightmares.
Years later, determined to find answers and finally silence the past, Amy sets out in search of closure. But what begins as a quest for peace quickly pulls her into a web of corruption, forcing her to confront a ruthless D.A.'s office, survive dangerous encounters with a powerful Mexican cartel, and decide whether her love for Brian is strong enough to withstand Raul's advances.
Book 2 in the series coming Fall 2026.
