Targeted

Mojitos, Moonlight....and Murder.
What could be better than a week of sipping mojitos, basking in the sun, and listening to waves lap against a Caribbean beach? Nothing, according to Jordan Blair and her friend, Ellie Cassidy, until their vacation transforms into a terrifying nightmare.
The former occupant of their room has vanished and the charismatic resort manager is unconcerned. He suggests the woman has taken off for a romantic interlude. Given the visible police presence and Jordan’s police training, she doesn’t buy that story. Another guest attaches himself to Jordan and Ellie, but his playboy demeanor and covert activities arouse Jordan’s suspicions. Could he have been involved with the woman’s disappearance?
Plagued by unanswered questions, Jordan lets her guard down. Now, she and Ellie are running for their lives. Will her survival skills save them or result in a fight she can’t win?
