"Super romantic suspense thriller"

In San Isidro, Columbia Julia Vandamme-Ramirrez is desperate to escape from the control freak she married. She only stays with her abusive dictator spouse Miguel because of their three years old boy Tomasito, who she loves with all her heart and would die to keep him safe and away from her husband. Her marital prison goes so far that Miguel dictates when and how much time she spends with Tomasito.

Her only friend, outside of Miguel's control, Meredith Santera tells her two Operatives teammates that Julia would flee Miguel if she could take Tomas with her. Though Meredith, a former CIA Agent wants to kill Miguel and destroy his drug dealing evil "empire", Jonathan Cruz gets the assignment to take Julia and her son to freedom.. Neither expected the attraction, but Tomas' safety comes first.

NOT WITHOUT HER SON is a super romantic suspense thriller starring the good (Julia), the bad (Jonathan) and the ugly (Miguel). The story line is action-packed with readers wondering whether killing machine Jonathan will kiss or break the neck of Julia. Miguel is a nasty soulless person who controls his wife through the threat of harm to their son more than the physical and mental abuse he heaps on her. Fans will look forward to the next operative's thriller while also checking out the previous tale NOT WITHOUT PROOF.
