Lisette Peterson has spent the past few years trying to escape from the shadow of her father, a conservative US Senator. The last thing she expects when she travels to Mexico during Spring Break is to be kidnapped by a mercenary intent on using her for political leverage.

Michael Rezai has been promised that this will be an easy job, to hold Lisette for a week until her father upholds his end of the bargain and then she’ll be free to go. He has little enough reason for loyalty to his homeland after a betrayal that continues to haunt him five years later.

When circumstances rapidly spiral out of control, Michael is left scrambling for a solution and Lisette must decide whether to trust her captor to deliver her safely home. Navigating both an uneasy truce and an uncertain environment, they must travel on an increasingly dangerous path to find sanctuary.</p
