Letting Raul Devlin slip by her was a mistake border patrol agent Tally Gordon couldn't afford to repeat. He'd been called a threat, a spy, a traitor, a patriot. He had as many roles as he had enemies, and more enemies than Tally could count.But the more she learned about Devlin's opposition, the more she came to doubt their motives ad to wonder if what she'd been told about him was true. Only one thing was certain: Raul Devlin had entered the U.S. illegally, and it was Tally's sworn duty to track him down. Once that was done it would be time to decide whether to stand with Devlin, or against him.
