Nan is not your typical romance heroine.
She’s a high-priced take-out prostitute who marries the incarcerated border “Godfather” Gaspar for money and convenience, but gives him genuine affection and a fierce loyalty.
Authentically kind and sweet-natured, she reacts to threats with a cold-eyed, homicidal efficiency.
Desiring nothing but peaceful sleep, she detonates a war that shocks even veteran border cops.
While having lived on illegal sex trade since she was twelve, she is scrupulously honest and has never even been arrested.
And after living a life without love or sexual response, she finds herself falling for a handsome athlete--who is in charge of a Federal task force targeting her husband’s cartel.

But aside from the bundle of contradictions, Nan isn’t typical because she’s just not an ordinary person. Charming and gentle but all spring steel inside, filtering the world through her infectious sense of humor, capable of reaching out touchingly to a child but stepping up bravely to danger, thinking out of the box and ahead of the gangsters, Feds, killers and corrupt cops that suddenly surround her, Nan Gaspar is a woman to be dealt with, and to be remembered. And all she wants out of life is a good night’s sleep.
