Grace Ann Sanchez is in legal limbo when she makes a call to the RAND Service. She has been detained by the Border Patrol and fears she will be sent back to Mexico. The RAND Service knows Grace along with her mother, Jaden Hawke. Hawke has friends in RAND and has been involved in recent adventures overseas that have involved RAND along with intelligence agencies. Jaden hasn’t seen her daughter in nearly fifteen years, as Grace’s father took her to Mexico. Jaden must rely on an old beau to help track down Grace. Jaden’s past with Stephan was steamy but also involved lies and murder. The other operatives brought in to assist are skeptical of Stephan, but time is critical the longer Grace is missing.
The high drama and action are evident from the opening pages of this emotion-packed thriller. The panic that seizes Grace as she is about to be taken in by the authorities is authentic with respect to border crossings. Jaden Hawke has been through the emotional ringer before, between attempting to track down a family fortune to being implicated in a murder, but her fragile mindset is further threatened by Grace’s predicament. Her unresolved feelings for Stephan further complicate her thoughts, and Stephan’s motives often seem questionable. The resolution of Jaden’s narrative is equally as fascinating as Grace’s as each chapter progresses. At its core, this is a story about love, trust, and the bonds that tie people together. This is a positively unputdownable book.
