Description: "Elizabeth Guerrera has been working the South Bronx beat for the New York Herald-Sun for too long when she finally gets her 'big break.' As the new correspondent in the civil-war-torn Central American country of Bellavista, Lizzie finally has the chance to file the front-page stories she's always dreamed of writing. Once in Libertad, the nation's capital, Lizzie quickly finds her loyalties divided. She is seduced by General Rivas Valdez, the minister of defense for the ruling junta and the USA State Department's choice to run the country. Rivas Valdez's searing sexuality is corrupted by his desire to inflict pain on those he touches. As Lizzie uncovers the layers of lies and deceit that veil the Bellavistan landscape, she will discover the extent of his cruelty"--Page 4 of cover.
