About this ebook
Selena Hernandez’s life is upended when she learns that she was brought to the United States illegally as a child—a revelation that forces her into a painful decision. Compelled to return to Mexico to secure legal status, Selena’s heart remains set on reclaiming the American dream she’s always desired. In the midst of her internal battle, a routine visit to the US Embassy turns dangerous when she meets Wyatt Demko, a determined State Department agent with a troubled past.
Wyatt, who escaped a harsh life in a Wisconsin trailer park, is immediately drawn to Selena—even as the discovery of her hidden ties to a notorious drug cartel shatters his carefully controlled world. Their fates collide in a whirlwind of secrets, danger, and unexpected passion. With corrupt law enforcement and ruthless cartel operatives closing in, they have only days to orchestrate a daring escape that takes them from the tumultuous streets of Mexico City to the sun-drenched shores of the Yucatan Peninsula.
In this electrifying romantic suspense saga, every heartbeat is a race against time as love battles against a backdrop of betrayal and relentless danger.
