The masterful storytelling and gripping suspense that are trademarks of the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author combine in this thrilling story perfect for fans of Nora Roberts and James Patterson…
Mateo Castillo is a rising star chef on the verge of breaking out in Manhattan’s cutthroat celebrity cooking scene – until a mysterious illness sends him to the ER. As he and his doctor, Adrian Ardell, investigate the cause of his episodes, they find they have more in common than their shared interest in his health. Like Mateo, Adrian’s family immigrated to the US when she was young, fleeing a country overrun with violence. While Mateo is from South America, her roots are Eastern European, but they both understand what it takes to succeed against all odds. They begin to develop feelings for one another, even as their search for answers leads them to more questions from Mateo’s past…
In 1988 Colombia, Mateo’s young parents meet at a Salsa dance class and fall in love. But the country is controlled by ruthless, brutal cartels and they’re forced to flee when violence arrives on their doorstep. Their journey first to Mexico and then the United States is filled with danger and uncertainty, but eventually they’re able to make a home and a family.
Now, Mateo’s strange illness threatens to uncover a dark secret that even he could never have guessed, exposing his family to dangers from the past—while clouding the investigation into who is trying to hurt Mateo in the present…
