He was the man she couldn’t have…she was the woman he couldn’t forgetOn a humanitarian mission to fly doctors to a remote village in Mexico, pilot Lisa Merrick discovers something sinister lurking behind the organization in charge. Her plane is sabotaged, leaving her trapped in the Mexican wilderness with a price on her head and no way out. Injured and desperate, she contacts the one man she … the one man she knows will help her: Dave DeMarco, a tough but compassionate Texas cop with whom she was once wildly in love.
Dave DeMarco is stunned when a woman from his past calls him late one night with an incredible story of smuggling, sabotage and attempted murder. Soon, though, his mission to rescue Lisa becomes a struggle for survival against an enemy who wants them both dead. When the danger they face clashes with the passion that still burns between them, Dave vows to protect the woman he never stopped loving – and keep her in his life forever.

Loved this fast paced romantic suspense that is a reissue of a book originally published in 2003, The DeMarco’s are a family of dedicated law enforcement agents and this is Dave DeMarco’s story. He receives a call from someone he once knew in high school, Lisa Merrick. Lisa is in trouble trapped deep in the wilds of Mexico. How can he say no to helping her? They had a connection in high school that neither pursued. That connection and intense attraction is still there and worth going after. If they can just stay alive and get home!
This was a very enjoyable read and definitely a book I recommend.
They shared one kiss in high school, but police officer Dave DeMarco never forgot Lisa Merrick. So, when Dave got a call from Lisa saying she was in trouble and needed his help, Dave jumped on the next plane to a remote town in Mexico to help her.
Lisa was living her dream of being a pilot with her own private plane. She flew doctors into Mexico so they could provide free healthcare to those we needed it. But, her last trip was different. She made a discovery that put her life in jeopardy and there was only one person she could trust to help her out; her old high school crush, Dave.
This was an adrenaline rush of a story. Once the excitement started, it didn’t stop until the end. I have been enjoying this author’s work. Her writing style pulls me into the story right away and the action keeps me intrigued until the very end. This book is part of a series but can be read on its own. But, I would suggest you start at the beginning of the series so you can get to know the rest of the DeMarco family and not have any spoilers of other books by reading out of order.

I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC from NetGalley.
Read 2 books in the series. Great reads.
Not really sure why I didn’t exactly like it but I had to force myself to keep reading it.
One of my very favorite books…..and now, one of my favorite authors!! Couldn’t put it down.
Bravo!
Full of action, exciting plot. Enjoyed it.
I enjoyed reading this book. There is some great action that makes this book great for summer beach reading.
Totally a must read can’t put it down story!
Great nostalgic read. Believable characters and situations.
This book was a pleasant ,but but not exciting read. I only recommend it because it did mamage to pass the time.
This was a terrific story with intensity, challenges, love and good character development. I really enjoyed the story line and was very entertained!
This is a book on how circumstances change the courses of their lives but deep down those feelings are still their waiting to surface oh yes i enjoyed reading this story
loved the slow build and the character development. Was routing for them from the beginning
Wish the author would have tied up some loose ends
I loved this book. It’s the story of second chances for both of the main characters. Life and death experiences bring people together, especially when they were always meant to be. Sometimes it’s all about timing. A great love story.
Excellent read!
I deleted it a few chapters into the book. I simply couldn’t care for either the H or the h. It left me with meh ! I read the book prior to this one, and I didn’t like the protagonists in that one either.
kept me turning the pages
