Synopsis
Blending passion, danger, and adventure, the author of The Bridges of Madison County delivers a spellbinding, emotionally complex tale like nothing he's ever written before. While looking for inspiration in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, an American novelist witnesses the assassination of an American naval officer--and ends up driving the killer to the border.

From the Publisher
Novelist Danny Pastor liked what he found in lazily beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico: Luz Maria, a woman he was crazy about; cantinas that played his kind of music; and la dolce vita, the sweet life. That was the problem. Danny needed to write, and he was up against a blank wall, not turning out a word while his money ran low and his nerves went wild. Then he was in the right place, or the wrong one, to be the sole witness when a shooter gunned down an American naval officer. At a cafe table with Luz, Danny Pastor saw it all, and saw the possibility of a story, a surefire, prizewinning account that could restore his pride and make him famous. And when the killer approached him, the only other Anglo around, and asked for a ride across the border, Danny, bold with tequila, said yes. Now in a Ford Bronco named Vito, two men and one woman begin a hair-raising run for the border. Their journey will take them to places they didn't anticipate, to things they never thought would happen, to feelings that reach deep and change everything - in a story that will kindle a spirit of adventure in everyone.

Her name was Jellie Braden, and Michael Tillman wanted her, and had wanted her from the first instant he saw her. Something deep in his bones had whispered. "That one." And Jellie Braden, in her fortieth year, had heard the voice, too.

It was attraction at first sight between this maverick, middle-aged economics professor who still rode his beloved motorcycle from his teenage years and the introspective, dark-haired wife of a new colleague. It called forth feelings that wouldn't disappear. It forced two people to come to terms with their lives in ways they hadn't imagined, and it led them both into the magical places only lovers know. But it also brought with it the pain of choices and loss. Jellie wasn't a free woman. And Michael Tillman wasn't a young man, foolish with dreams; he was a mature man dead certain of the dreams he wanted. And when Jellie Braden disappeared one day, he was ready to travel the whole world looking for her to discover the secrets she was hiding and what he had to do to make her his…
