Isabella Mumphrey
can’t leave a puzzle alone. This time she attempts to use her anthropology
knowledge to uncover who is stealing priceless artifacts from an Aztec Temple in
Mexico City. The discovery will certainly prove her worth to the World
Intelligence Agency.
Tino Costantine is in
Mexico City, too. He has infiltrated a drug lord’s organization to find enough
evidence to not only prove the man’s illegal activities, but to bring him down
for numerous deaths. Namely those of Tino’s family.
But when the love of
his life, Isabella, strolls into his enemy’s home, Tino’s challenged by the
choice of saving her or fulfilling his revenge.
********* EXCERPT *********
Tino’s senses shot electricity through his body. He wasn’t alone.
Rather than let on he knew someone watched him, he snorted and stretched,
slipping his hand under his pillow to grasp his Glock.
He rolled to his feet and placed the muzzle of his weapon
against Cezar’s chest.
“You are sleeping late, amigo,” Cezar said, pushing the weapon to the
side.
“Yesterday was busy.” Tino grabbed his pants and pulled them on, keeping an eye
on Cezar.
“No, you were out late last night. Diego saw you coming back
at four.” Cezar grabbed the straight back chair, spun it around, and sat,
straddling the seat, his arms crossed over the back. He settled his chin on his
arms and peered at Tino.
“Diego said you looked like a content man.” He wiggled a finger. “You
know Jefe does not like us consorting with women. It is too easy to
talk big and spill important information.”
Tino’s heart hammered in his chest. To deny he was with a woman
would look suspicious but there was no way he wanted them to find out about
Isabella.
“Sí, I
was tense from all that went down yesterday and the best relaxation is…” He
winked. “I picked up a hot mamácita at a
cantina and we had some fun.” Tino leaned closer. “If you want to go with me another time, she
has a friend.”
