Camaro Espinoza has spent her whole life protecting people: her sister, her comrades in the army, her friends. A year ago, in New York City, her determination to do the right thing left some bodies behind. Now she's running a boat off the Miami shore and keeping a low profile. It's a simple life, but it wasn't easy to come by, and she plans to hold on to it.

Then trouble comes knocking: a man named Parker wants to hire her boat for a small errand off the coast of Cuba. He's offering a little more money than she charges - and a lot more trouble. Camaro knows she shouldn't get involved. But Parker's in over his head with the wrong people. And he's got a daughter who will suffer greatly if he doesn't come home. Camaro has never met the girl. But that doesn't mean she can ignore her plight.

Camaro's used to being wanted - by good men and bad, by wounded soldiers, by the law. But she's never really been needed before. As she tries to protect Lauren, she finds herself in the midst of double crosses, international intrigue, broken promises and scattered bullets. And this time she may not be able to escape unscathed.
