The Wages of Sin - 9781491703571

Brooke Carlin is an international news correspondent when she meets and marries Fortune 500 Rey Saldana. Charmed by his persona and his good looks she marries him. All seems well-until seven years into their marriage, when Brooke makes the acquaintance of the debonair Miguel Della Rico and starts a torrid love affair against her better judgment.

She finds herself unable to resist Miguel-a man with wealth, good looks, talent in the bedroom, and a mysterious and questionable past. Although Brooke is well traveled and brilliant, she remains blind to the lethal schemes that Miguel has involved her in and continues the affair, even after the murder of her husband, possibly at the hands of her lover. When Miguel is arrested for gun smuggling and murder at Port Said, Egypt, he asks her to work undercover as a corrections officer to help him escape.

As Brooke decides whether to help him or to wake up to reality, her life has become unrecognizable compared to what it once was. She has lost her husband, and now her freedom may be at risk. If she had known this would be the result of her adultery, would she have loved Miguel anyway?
