Synopsis

2011 Christy Award winner!
Border Patrol Agent Danika Morales has sworn to protect the southern borders of our nation, but that oath has cost her. Two years ago, her husband, Toby, was killed trying to help the very immigrants Danika was responsible for sending back to Mexico. His murder was never solved. But now, a recent string of attacks and arrests leads her to believe that someone in McAllen is profiting from sneaking undocumented immigrants into the country . . . and it may somehow be tied to Toby’s death.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Danika Morales has sworn to protect our borders. But that oath has come with a price.
Two years ago, her husband was shot and killed trying to help undocumented immigrants―the very people Danika, a Border Patrol agent, is responsible for deporting. His murder was never solved.
Now, a recent string of attacks and arrests leads Danika to believe her husband’s death may have been part of a larger conspiracy, and it appears that she’s the next target. When the Border Patrol discovers that one of their own is leaking top-secret information, Danika turns to the only person she can trust―a doctor at the local medical clinic. Together they search for answers before more innocent lives are destroyed.

From Booklist:

Danika Morales, a widowed border patrol agent, finds out that she may be the target of a drug cartel. Her husband, a high school teacher and former immigration activist, was murdered in the desert two years earlier. Since then her brother-in-law, another border patrol agent, has been going off the deep end. With someone reporting sensor locations to the coyotes smuggling people and drugs over the border near McAllen, Texas, both of them become suspects. Then Danika’s partner is shot, and she meets Dr. Alex Price who treats agents and illegal immigrants the same. As Danika struggles with raising a four-year-old deaf daughter, family conflict, a missing niece, and the realization that her husband’s murder may have been part of a bigger conspiracy, she finds herself liking Alex more than she wants to. Readers who like contemporary romantic suspense steeped in prayer instead of sex will enjoy this intriguing page-turner. --Diana Tixier Herald
