The cartel wants her back. He’s the only way home.
I, Mike Armstrong, complete the mission and walk away.
That’s my rule.
No attachments.
No complications.
No second thoughts.
The plan is simple: slip in quietly, extract the asset.
When I finally reach Marietta Gonzales, she's not as helpless as the cartel expects.
Intelligent, resilient, prepared and far tougher than I anticipated.
She becomes my partner in survival instead.
We try to disappear before anyone notices.
The cartel notices.
What begins as a simple extraction turns into a nightmare.
Danger closes in and the jungle becomes our only refuge.
Trust grows between us—along with something neither of us expected.
Because surviving the cartel may be the easy part.
Walking away from her might be impossible.
