Summary

"Do you know what happens when you steal someone's hope? You break them. A tip ... find out what a person's version of broken looks like before you break them. I've been told mine is unpleasant." (Anna Croix, just now)
 
Why is Anna broken? Because Spike has gone missing in Central America. Right when her life was finally starting to get put back together.
 
Figures.
 
Naturally, she sets out to find him. How hard could road-tripping through three of the most dangerous countries in the world with a truckload of weapons possibly be? Harder than she thought. Which is why she enlists the help of some unlikely allies—some of which might be planning to kill her. Kill being a lose term. More like torture to death or blow to smithereens.
 
Semantics.
 
Unless she's not able to find him before they find her ...
 
Things she can worry about later. Right now, she has havoc to wreak, kingpins to unseat, and ... hearts to steal?
 
Justice will be served.
Available since: 08/27/2024.
