Summary
Javier Pena found himself broke down, in more ways than one, in a little Texas town between San Antonio and Laredo on his way back from his retirement 'party'. Directionless, sleep deprived and haunted by guilt, he's no longer sure if the woman standing on the other side of the roadhouse bar is real, or just another ghost. One who haunted his dreams, one who he regretted more than most. His ambition and determination to hunt down the cartels had wounded her irreparably, and now she'd returned to haunt him.
Helena Sotomayor has worked hard since she left Columbia to carve out a life for her and her daughter. After 15 years of hard work she's managed to heal enough, make enough and do enough that she's almost where she wants to be in life. Her days as a high-end prostitute in Columbia long behind her. Until one night at her second job, she sees the man who helped her escape that life. She nearly doesn't believe it, he seems nothing like the brash young agent she once knew, full of life and swagger, now sad and defeated.
Perhaps not all ghosts are bad. Or perhaps somethings are better left in the past.
