Description
Wanting a better life pushes a couple into the world of human trafficking in this romantic suspense novel from the bestselling author of The Black Market.

Nobody will get hurt
Dawn and Reese Spencer just can't get ahead. Between her desperate desire to start a family and his gambling debts, they barely keep afloat, even with well-paying Norfolk International port jobs. But their calculating co-worker has the perfect plan: help him smuggle containers of human cargo past U.S. Customs.

Nobody will know
For Dawn, risking the innocent lives of undocumented immigrants is unthinkable. But Reese persuades her that no one will get hurt. And once things proceed without a hitch and money starts rolling in, the Spencers are sure their dreams are about to come true...

Nobody will live to tell
Until several immigrants turn up dead on arrival. Until Reese bets more than he can ever repay. Now the Feds and cold-blooded loan sharks are closing in...as the real brains behind the operation start killing off loose ends....

"Readers know immediately that they're in for high suspense....A thought-provoking, topical crime tale rich in memorable choices and consequences."—Booklist
