Description
Camaro Espinoza has spent her whole life protecting people: her sister, her comrades in the army, her friends. A year ago, in New York City, her determination to do the right thing left some bodies behind. Now she's running a boat off the Miami shore and keeping a low profile. It's a simple life, but it wasn't easy to come by, and she plans to hold on to it.
Then trouble comes knocking: a man named Parker wants to hire her boat for a small errand off the coast of Cuba. He's offering a little more money than she charges - and a lot more trouble. Camaro knows she shouldn't get involved. But Parker's in over his head with the wrong people. And he's got a daughter who will suffer greatly if he doesn't come home. Camaro has never met the girl. But that doesn't mean she can ignore her plight.
Camaro's used to being wanted - by good men and bad, by wounded soldiers, by the law. But she's never really been needed before. As she tries to protect Lauren, she finds herself in the midst of double crosses, international intrigue, broken promises and scattered bullets. And this time she may not be able to escape unscathed.

Featured Reviews
Exciting and unusual, with plausible former soldier, tough woman with heart of gold; her dark past emerges but this is not a psychological thriller, it's a feisty thriller about a woman who happens to cross paths with a good hearted loser and determines at all costs to help him on account of his daughter. A local cop with a refined sense of right and wrong and some FBI people all aim at taking the same guy she helps out; there is mixed-allegiance terrorism involved too - intense, complexcomplex and exciting and twists right up until the end. We are in hands of terrific writer here.
This is an intriguing read, full of action and speed. The heroine is herself a dubious character with a deep desire to use evil to achieve good. It works for her and for the reader. The pace is good, the writing very good. The setting is pleasant. Sorting out the various sides in the Cuban gangs takes attention but it is well worth it.
