Summary
When undercover cop, Mason Taylor, unexpectedly stepped back into Emily Hunt's life, he never imagined it would be as a hostage negotiator. Thrown together into an impossible situation, Emily and Mason must sift through the horrific details of a drug cartel's kidnapping and ransom demands; using innocent members of Emily's family as pawns in a dangerous game of \"cat and mouse\". Emily, a high school history teacher, is used to a somewhat quiet and mundane routine. The daughter of a retired police captain and the sister of a police woman, she has no desire for a highadrenaline kind of life. But all that changes when her classroom is held hostage and a student turns desperate. The situation worsens when her niece disappears, her sister is shot and Emily's own life becomes endangered through an ironic twist of fate. \"Trust Mason\", is her father's advice; and Emily finds herself clinging to the strong, compassionate family friend in more ways than one. With a \"Lynette¬Eason\" kind of pace, this romantic suspense hits on all cylinders and is a huge step forward in quality from Lisa Harris's first novel!
Violence: Because this story involves high drug cartel activity, there is an element of violence through¬out the book, but without graphic detail
