Kate Fox thought she’d traded danger on the Nebraska plains for a quieter life—and a real chance with Baxter. But when he vanishes in the Costa Rican jungle—and her niece Carly is arrested while trying to free trafficked wildlife—Kate is pulled thousands of miles from home and straight into a nightmare.
An ex-sheriff used to chasing cattle thieves, Kate’s now facing something far deadlier: a wildlife smuggling ring trading jaguars, sloths, and venomous snakes for millions. In a desperate bid to save Carly, she goes undercover in the traffickers’ world—where one wrong word could get her killed, and the only law is survival.
But somewhere in the jungle, Baxter is still out there. And the deeper Kate goes undercover, the more she realizes saving the people she loves may cost her the one thing she can’t get back—her life.

About Shannon
Shannon Baker writes about strong women in the iconic landscapes of the American West, from the Colorado Rockies to the Nebraska prairies, to the deserts of southern Arizona, where she’s roamed in rafts and kayaks, backpacked, hiked, cycled, and skied.
She’s been named Writer of the Year twice by Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and has won the New Mexico/Arizona Book Award. Now a resident of Tucson, on traditional Pascua Yaqui land, Baker spent 20 years in the Nebraska Sandhills, where cattle outnumber people by more than 50:1, and where Kate Fox keeps law and order amid a cast of a quirky locals. Despite a love of Arizona sunsets viewed with a cold cocktail on her deck, Baker will always be a Husker. Go Big Red.
