Damen has spent the last three years working for Miss Belle's Travel Guides and hiding from his enemies in Peru. Life is good. His family is safe, he's immersed in the art world, and he might be falling in love. During a romantic, relaxing week away, he catches an international news broadcast that stops him dead. Vincente Buccero-an influential businessman, and the reason Damen had to leave Peru-has been released from prison. Damen is intimately familiar with the underhanded dealings Buccero uses to threaten the native people of Peru. But it's the man's sinister predilections, and the way he looks at his young assistant, that drives a spike of traumatic memory through Damen. He knows there is only one way to stop the man for good. Putting him in the ground. Miss Belle's problems are multiplying. Cops stake out the manor, a new girl needs the welcome pitch, and her wounds from the job in Thailand are healing way too slowly. Add on the nightmares that wake her drenched in sweat every night, and she's hitting a breaking point. When she tries to get in contact with Damen only to discover he's left New York with no back-up, her stress reaches a peak. With limited options, and every call to Damen going to voicemail, she and Missa have no choice but to grab their gear and get to Peru.
