The first stand-alone book I've read by this author, but my gosh, it was still so good. It had suspense, misdirection, romance and a bit of murder to spice things up!
Bess is a photojournalist sent to take photos of a small town in Mexico, but when she gets there something isn't right and she witnesses an awful event and is then kidnapped. Unfortunately, the only person who can help her, just also happens to be working for the enemy.
This was a quick and fast paced read, following Bess as she tries to not only escape, but also avenge what happened in the small town. Bess was a fabulous ballsy character, not afraid to go all out and I enjoyed watching her romance blossom.
