Mistaken Identity

Hannah never expected her normal day at work to become a debacle involving an FBI arrest. The more she discovers about their reasons for apprehending her, the more shocked she becomes. After a harrowing escape with a man she doesn't even know, Hannah finds herself caught up in a world of drug cartels, kidnapping and more. And she has no idea if she or the man trying to save her will survive it. More

His instincts tell him she’s innocent. The evidence says otherwise.

When insurance sales rep Hannah Barker finds herself arrested by the FBI, she’s sure it’s all some egregious mistake.

She can’t imagine why she’s being accused of transporting illicit drugs from Mexico to the U.S.—she's never so much as traveled outside her home country, much less touched something as dangerous as heroin—and this whole incident feels like the worst of bad dreams.

Yet when she’s shown photographs of someone committing that very act, someone heavily resembling her, Hannah is stumped, especially when her DNA winds up at the scene. Hannah knows she didn’t do it, but her righteous indignation morphs into a desperate fear. Who’ll believe her now?

As a veteran chief deputy of his local sheriff's department, Ian Velez knows better than most how often criminals lie. But something about this case feels off to him. Going on instinct, he removes Hannah from the situation, even though it throws both their futures into jeopardy.

Secreting her away provides a temporary solution, and he discovers this woman is tougher than she originally seemed. A burgeoning passion between them boils to the surface, but with multiple organizations in pursuit, time is not on their side.

Will Ian untangle this complex web and prove that Hannah is only a scapegoat? Or are they destined to be caught in the crossfire before he can?
