Mary Delaney, a young school teacher from London, wakes up in a dingy hotel in rural South America. She's been abandoned and left penniless by her partying boyfriend. On top of that, she learns that a local man has taken ownership of her during a card game. The man who won Mary in the card game is haunted by his family's a sorrowful and violent past. Mary's actions during a scuffle with the local mafia delay her return home and threaten her future. She struggles to communicate and understand the rules and the laws of a foreign country.This is a wonderfully crafted love story that lands the reader in the middle of South America. The characters are well developed. The images are sharp and clear. The story evolves quickly and smoothly. This is a very good story that can be read in one day and remembered for a lifetime.
