This may be my favorite book by James Lawless. This story tells a tale of a thriller romance in Spain.Penelope Eames is a 33 year old author, just beginning a whirlwind of a romance with a Spanish school teacher, Ramon.Penelope had moved to Spain in an attempt to stay away from her drug addict brother, Dermot, and her father. She ends up in a dilemma when her brother contacts her...he is in trouble, a lot of trouble, by big time pimp and drug dealer, Charlie Eliot. Ramon forbids her to have anything to do with the situation. He only has good intentions, because his mother had been murdered by a drug addict. She is quite clever in figuring out how to help her brother, although she knows she is risking her relationship.Well-written book, a great blend of romance and thriller, James Lawless did an exemplary job on this book!
