In a Mexican Cantina, Trace O'Hurley, ISS agent (International Super Spy?), was trying to take a much needed vacation when Gillian Fitzpatrick walked in with an offer he really wanted to turn down. Gillian just wanted her family safe at home but a madman with power and revolution on his mind had taken her brother and neice.
This was an action packed thriller type story and the sexual tension was there under the surface the whole time. At the end, no spoilers here, the last twist to the story had even me gasping out loud with surprise and laughter. The best of the O'Hurley series!
