The unique smell of gunpowder hung in the still air of the room bringing back an instant girlhood memory. She could taste as well as smell it. She remembered a Fourth of July evening years ago, sitting in the bleachers with her little friend Rebecca Slater, close to the ramp where the fireworks were being sent off. It both frightened and fascinated her. This time it was not a pleasant experience.
Shannon Racette is forced to lead a double life, working in two dangerous professions, and she must somehow survive.
Shannon is drop-dead gorgeous and comes from a highly respected and wealthy family. As a teenager, she is sent off to Switzerland for a finishing school education by her self-centered and detached parents. Afterwards, she heads out on her own to New York where she becomes both an honor student at NYU and a highly-paid escort.
Her profession is high-risk and dangerous, and she must sometimes defend herself against deranged and twisted clients. After two frightening experiences, she moves to San Francisco and meets Mike DiNardo, who becomes the love of her life and her protector. Another serious conflict occurs, and Shannon prevails against a vicious attacker, killing him in self-defense.
When the heat is on after the deadly incident, Shannon and Mike move to Miami and she acquires a major Columbian drug dealer as a client. In a fit of crazed jealousy, he attacks her and she again must protect herself. His death prompts an investigation, and she is visited by Homeland Security agents who inform her that her ex-client had been partnered with a high-level Al-Qaeda chieftain. Hundreds of millions of dollars had been funneled to America’s worst enemies.
Shannon and Mike are compromised and are conscripted by the federal agents as operatives. Their assignment: Learn everything they can about the Al-Qaeda drug operation and then terminate the head man.
They move to Chicago where they are to set the trap in order to complete their obligation to the government. Never out of danger, they manage to stay ahead of the game - until Shannon uncovers the most unspeakable and deadly plot against America that has ever been conceived.
Now, she’s in up to her neck and she must use all of her feminine assets to ensnare the mastermind. The feds insist that she finds out more before terminating him.
Just as they are about to close in, Shannon is recognized by one of the men in the ring, and all hell breaks loose.
Find out if they accomplish their mission and don’t miss the incredible climax of this amazing adventure.
