Blurb

She faked her death to escape him… but monsters don’t let go.

Lupe Nuez is finally home in Yucatán—alive, free, and determined to rebuild her life after a narrow escape. Her past is supposed to be buried at sea, along with the "death" she staged to escape her wealthy American husband, the man who taught her the hard way that appearances can be deadly.

Then Lupe meets Emilio Sánchez, a powerful shipping magnate with a steady strength that makes her believe in hope again. With him, she begins to feel something she hasn’t felt in years, safety and the possibility of love.

But when a shadow from Texas reaches Yucatán, Lupe realizes her freedom was only borrowed. If she wants a future with Emilio, and a life that’s truly her own, she’ll have to decide whether she’ll run once more, or finally stand her ground.

Author

Julie Bawden-Davis writes page-turning romance served up with a healthy dose of suspense, garden books that turn any brown thumb green, and spiritual books meant to enlighten and inspire. She began penning stories at the age of 5, when she wrote sweet, little romance books for her grandma. During her youth as a “Navy brat,” Julie had the world-expanding experience of living in several states in the US, as well as overseas. Today, she lives in Southern California. When you read one of Julie's books, you never know where you'll end up. One thing is certain, though, you won't be able to stop until the very last page!
