Every successful operative gathers enemies throughout his career; Agent Alex Sheridan is no exception. When powerful drug lord Alfonse Guarino escapes from prison, he is obsessed with seeking revenge against Alex for destroying his lucrative drug empire.
Alex and Angelina plan a romantic evening wihout their two-year-old daughter. Alex enters their home to find his wife bound to a chair, surrounded by three gunmen, weapons aimed at him. Critically wounded and left for dead, Alex wakes to learn Angelina has vanished without a trace. His only clue, a taunting note from Guarino: “I promised you’d pay! This is so perfect. Your wife is convinced you’re dead. You know she is alive. What a lovely, sensous woman she is!”
A pursuit that spans two continents begins, and every avenue Alex explores becomes a dead-end. Even her family’s fortune can’t buy them the ticket to Guarino. He has simply disappeared.
Like many others who have found the dark-haired, blue-eyed beauty irresistible, Guarino is captivated by Angelina. His deepest desire turns from vengeance to a compelling passion for her love.
As the puzzle is pieced together, lives are indangered and relationships are threatened, and answers come from some shocking sources.
