Synopsis:

From Amazon Best-Selling Author Martha Sweeney, comes her first romantic suspense novel.

You know how they say the enemy of your enemy is your friend? Well, I'm still determining if there's any truth to that statement.

I was used by the Feds to report on the dealings of Antonio Herrera - the major Mexican crime lord since his uncle passed, leaving everything to Antonio. I knew everything about Antonio's business. How, you ask? I was the only woman he kept close, really close - he claimed he loved me. You get to see and hear a lot of interesting things when you hold that kind of status.

Now, the Feds have me in what they claim is witness protection. However, I never feel safe knowing he's out there. My family thinks I'm dead. All the while, I keep to myself, avoid most people in my new hometown and train rigorously everyday—waiting for the time when the devil comes calling for his debt to be paid.

Review:

What a unpredictable journey this was! I loved the build up of the story & all of the plot twists had me turning page after page. This being story of a strong minded woman who ends up in an unsavoury relationship but decides to take back control by working with the FBI risking her life to escape her current circumstances. But with this comes sacrifice, she gives up her home, her family entering witness protection to protect herself & those she loves.

Although succeeding in making a life for herself somewhere new she remains guarded, her walls firmly in place. But what happens when her past comes back to haunt her? What happens when someone starts to knock down those walls piece by piece? Someone your brain is trained not to trust?

I admired Laurie's strength throughout this whole book. Her determination to be stronger, to make sure she has control over all aspects of her life, after losing it at a great cost in her past. She cares for those she loves, always putting them first despite her tough exterior & I loved that about her.

But was she truly living this new life though? Was she truly happy? Before her new life becomes disrupted by a fed determined to knock down the fortress she had built around her heart? I'm not so sure, she always seemed to be missing a part of herself.

While respecting all of the reasons she had not to trust the gorgeous, challenging, cocky fed. A long with risking 

her past coming back to bite her on the ass. Without giving away too much it was totally worth the risk & I cant wait to find out what happens next!!!
