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.

    When no one is who they seem, the only person you can trust is yourself. 
     
     
     
    Detective Trinity Calhoun's closest friend was due back weeks ago from his undercover operation, and the last thing she wants to do is take a trip. Not even to attend a high-profile conference at a swanky hotel on a beautiful island with all expenses paid. But with her boss counting on her, Trinity sets aside her misgivings and goes. 
     
     
     
    Except from the moment she sets foot on the ferry, something feels . . . off. First comes a man who's far too interested in her. Then Trinity swears she's spotted her late-to-return friend. And someone—who could be an ally or a foe—is definitely planting breadcrumbs for her. Is a little girl missing or is that, too, a misdirect? 
     
     
     
    Quickly, Trinity realizes the danger is closing in. And she's trapped. Hemmed in by a storm that's cut off both digital and physical access to the mainland. Her survival depends on her ability to differentiate between clue and bait. Because someone wants to help—and someone wants her dead.
