Mirage - Paperback

Suffering abuse, which untouchable Carrie James blames on her father, she teams up with criminal wannabe Kevin DJ Cash against the cartel responsible for the death of her close childhood friend. When Carrie, as the county's first female deputy, finds her father leads the cartel, she accepts an undercover assignment with the feds. Meanwhile Kevin infiltrates the produce company tasked by the county commissioner with smuggling sex workers across the border. He falls for a fellow probation officer with an appreciation for ska music and magic mushrooms. He's simultaneously mesmerized by the dangerously disturbed daughter of the produce company's owner. Can our team of two damaged misfits tolerate each other long enough to succeed when one seeks vengeance, the other prosperity and fame?
