On the mend from a gunshot wound in Mexico City, investigator JadeAnne Stone needs to get Lily, the trafficked fifteen-year-old she rescued, back to her family in the U.S. But within hours of her release from the hospital she recognizes her nemesis, Anibal Aguirre trolling her neighborhood in a black SUV. Is he looking for her? He's the one who sold her to the traffickers. Her U.S. operative father puts together a team for round-the-clock security, and Anibal is arrested during an attack on the house, but at the airport the U.S. Marshal transporting him is killed and Anibal disappears. Who knew Anibal was being extradited at 12:30? And why does it appear the Aguirre clan is right in the middle of a deadly human trafficking network? JadeAnne realizes that between the cartel traffickers, the government officials in their pockets, and possibly the handsome doctor she danced with in the park, nowhere and no one is safe, not even her dog Pepper. Whichever cartel paid for JadeAnne and Lily wants them back, and after multiple attacks and the disappearance of Senator Aguirre, Jade places her trust in Dr. Dylan. With his information her team races to a cartel safehouse in another city to discover both Anibal and the senator have been kidnapped. But it's a double cross and during the ensuing shoot out, friends die. Jade and Lily are no closer to retuning to the U.S. and now their protection is gone. Not even her father's contacts can help this time. And time is what they have least of.
