She was kidnapped last night.

The man responsible for her abduction?

Her “dead” fiancé.

Lucia Gallardo has spent the last decade hungry for revenge. The cartel killed her fiancé, and she won’t rest until justice is served. Her plans derail, however, when she’s captured by a group of merciless drug runners, and leading them is a man Lucia never thought she’d see again.

Ramiro Alvarez sacrificed everything to infiltrate the cartel, and he doesn’t want a reunion with the woman he abandoned ten years ago. But when his team catches Lucia investigating their smuggling route, he’s forced to take her hostage. The organization wants her dead, and now Ramiro must find a way to keep Lucia alive, keep his identity intact—and keep from falling in love with her all over again.

Agave Ridge is a medium-heat romantic suspense novel. Perfect if you enjoy second-chance romances, on-the-run adventures, and open-door intimate scenes!
