Amber Alert

Breathless suspense explodes on practically every page, highlighted by scenes of violence and merciless, execution-style murders. Lauren comes off as something of Superwoman who performs feats of strength two days after giving birth, but that just adds to the page-turning appeal. Swinson's name will generate strong interest." --Library

An explosive portrait of Dirty South revenge, triple-dealing, and crimes of passion as a suburban mom's high-end criminal past comes back to haunt her, endangering her children-and propelling her into a high-stakes game she remembers all too well . . . Gone without a trace . . . Once the most cunning luxury-car thief in the game, Ava Frost gladly gave it all up to become the wife of a successful Norfolk, Virginia, businessman, and raise their two children in better circumstances than she ever knew. But when the children are abducted-and held for a two-million-dollar ransom-Ava is stunned to discover her husband's bad deals have drained their fortune. Determined, she pursues her best, and toughest, option: Her ex-boyfriend, the mastermind behind the South's biggest car theft ring, offers her a chance to gain the money. But nothing ever comes for free, and Nick has a small request . . . Racing against the clock . . . Soon Ava is targeting one-of-a-kind cars that must be stolen within impossibly short timeframes. The excitement of the hunt and Ava's vulnerability is reigniting dangerous heat between her and Nick-just as she's finding out her husband's betrayal runs deeper and more hurtful than she ever expected . . . Running out of time . . . Now with one heist gone very wrong and the police closing in, Ava's down to her final chance to keep her bargain with Nick. But with hidden agendas and secret obsessions in play, will even her most skilled moves succeed in bringing her children home-or destroy everything she's fighting to save?
