Thirty-year-old Maddy Lambert finds herself on a mission to bring her dying father back home from the war torn Central American country where he has been staying for the past dozen years. She finally arrives only to be taken at gunpoint by her father's men. Her father refuses to see her; but sends his right-hand-man Jake Murphy to talk to her. Jake doesn't recognize her and Maddy is hurt. She had a huge crush on Jake years ago and can't believe he would forget her. Jake has her locked up with the other prisoners and keeps asking why she is claiming to be El Patron's daughter.

This is one of Anne Stuart's older books. The first half was just crazy with Jake telling her he doesn't believe she is El Patron's daughter. The second half was plain bad. She believes Jake is going to kill her and he can't believe she would ever think that...even though he has lied to her over and over and is holding her at gunpoint. Ugh!

I listened to the audiobook which was narrated by Xe Sands. She did a fine job with this book. My rating: 2 Stars.
