"The second installment in the Sisters-in-Arms series!"

This is the second Sisters-in-Arms book about sorority sisters who've formed a bond and would do just about anything for each other. If you read the first book in the series, CROSSING THE LINE, you might recall that Anna Shale had been accused of treason and was kicked out of the military. She has no choice but to go back to Panama to her scum-sucking cousin Luis but there's an ulterior motive behind this.

Undercover agent Tom Wild was given the job of taking the place of the previous agent, Manny who was murdered in cold blood by Luis right in front of Anna. Anna feels like it's her fault that Manny was murdered. When Tom first meets Anna she's under the influence of pain pills for a very good reason but Tom jumps to the conclusion that she's addicted to drugs. He's lived through this very thing with his mother and his girlfriend before so there's no way he's going to even remotely get involved with Anna. What Tom doesn't know is that things are not what they seem.

Even though they don't know it yet, Tom and Anna are both on the same side. What will it take for them to finally realize it and start working together to take Luis down once and for all?

This book was intriguing from the get-go. There were some twists to the plot that I never even saw coming until they hit me right between the eyes. This was a fabulous story that I read in a matter of hours. It was that good.

Summary

US Army Delta Force Captain Tom Wild has never played by the rules and he's not about to start now. Why should he when adhering to the rules accomplished nothing for a close friend, except that friend's death? Tom has spent precious weeks setting up his own cover, even going so far as to arrange a deal to reduce a small-time terrorist's prison term for an introduction into the shady underworld of Panamanian terrorist Luis Ortiz. So far, Luis and his thugs have been minor players on the Panamanian criminal scene. But before Tom's friend was murdered, his friend learned that Luis gained a wealthy but unknown sponsor-and was promptly tasked with a deadly but equally unknown mission.

Tom has no idea when the cowardly act is supposed to go down and he'll do whatever it takes to obtain the information, even if it means courting Luis' trusted cousin Anna Shale straight into bed if need be. As far as Tom is concerned, he has no choice. The sultry beauty is the budding terrorist's only weakness. That Anna is also a former US Navy lieutenant suspected of passing military secrets to her cousin will make taking the both of them down-as well as Tom's personal revenge for his buddy's death-all the sweeter...
