________
Life for Dr Laura Strong shouldn’t be this hard. Nights working thankless A&E shifts. A much-loved disabled brother to look after. Loan sharks at her door. She needs a miracle to stop her life collapsing around her.
The arrival of South American coffee magnate Rafael Fernandez appears to be the answer to her prayers. A devoted father with a sick son requiring a 24/7 care, he is prepared to pay any price for expertise he can trust.
But if something appears to be too good to be true, then it probably is. Before long, Laura is far from home and in grave danger. To find a way out, she must rely on her own instincts. Sometimes it’s easier to trust the devil you know…
