The Cartel Wife's Promise

Alicia Vega has worked six years as a paramedic in Hermosillo without asking who her father was. Then he turns up dead in Mazatlán, and the cartel sends a man to her mother's house with a proposal. His name is Tomás Ochoa. He has a kind way with him. He also has orders. If Alicia doesn't marry him, her sixteen-year-old sister goes into a system Alicia cannot protect her from. If she does, she has a husband she didn't choose, a pregnancy she didn't plan, and a set of ledgers her father left hidden, that name every partner the cartel has ever used. Six weeks into the marriage, her sister disappears — not hurt, not frightened, engaged. Marisol wants this life. Alicia has one chance to change her mind. And the only tool she has left is a paramedic supply bag and a very old promise.
