Dancing With the Boss - Paperback

by Clare Gutierrez (Author)

In the American Southwest, criminal organizations from all over the world conspire to control everything from human trafficking to drug running and gun smuggling. Caught in the midst of all of this is the smart and sassy Annie, the owner of a rare-art dealership in Arizona. In a chance encounter, Annie meets Tony, a veritable gangster and mafioso who finds the brutal nature of his work at odds with his growing feelings for Annie. When Annie learns that her brother Allen, a former special ops agent for the FBI, has gotten himself into some deep trouble, she finds an unexpected ally in Tony. The two of them, along with Annie's other two siblings, set out to help Allen. Together they maneuver through mysterious data files and dead bodies as they travel from coast to coast-and abroad-in their search. As the tension builds, so does the number of casualties. Explored through rich descriptions and populated with complex, likable characters, Dancing with the Boss-part thriller, part romance, part action novel-will keep even the most jaded readers hooked.
