But the surly airman refuses to get involved until the choice is ripped from him by Reynosa’s men in hot pursuit. Certain he'll regret it for the rest his short life, he can't resist a runaway bride in distress, even if it means he has to face Reynosa and the reality that he himself was responsible for his partner and friend's death.

About the author
Deborah Cox
19 books9 followersI’m cautious in real life. The biggest chances I have taken were 1) quitting my job and going back to college at the age of 38 – two years before I sold my first novel, and 2) moving to New Orleans without a job in 2002. Or maybe it was moving back in 2011 after being away for six years since Katrina threw my life into chaos.
I wasn’t born in New Orleans, but this is where my heart wants to be, and as we know the heart wants what the heart wants.
So as I was saying, except for those big leaps and the fact that I live in a dangerous, mercurial, funky, amazing place, I’m pretty cautious.
While I yearn for adventure, I am too much of a worst case scenario thinker to actually take big risks. But that’s what I do in my writing. My novels and stories are all about people taking chances – often out of necessity. The difference is with the stories I write, no matter how bad things look, I have seen the ending and it is happy.
I can't remember a time when I wasn't writing or reading. I've wanted to be a writer since I was old enough to hold a pencil. I am also a very amateur photographer, professional sightseer, and I make a mean gumbo!

I really enjoyed this book. Other than that it seemed to need some more editing, there were a few grammatical errors. But it was still one of those books that you have to find out what happens next. I liked the characters and the story had no lulls in it, it was action packed from beginning to end. I would recommend. <3
