Swedish tennis star turned coach John Strand thought he had found paradise. At Brazil's exclusive Bonita Resort, he spends his days teaching tennis to the super-rich. But the glittering facade hides a world of privilege and excess where John feels out of place. A friendship with a millionaire family—Julius, Mary, and their daughter Susan—reveals unexpected depths behind the wealth. The perfect life unravels when armed gangsters invade the resort, plunging John into a fight for his life. Staring down the barrel of a gun, John learns the brutal truth: survival trumps everything. "...and no shadow shall fall on you, my boy. We knew all along it was a long shot." Another heavy silence on the line all the way to Virginia. Without warning, tears began to well up in my chest, and I didn't know where they were coming from. I blinked hard, trying to hold them back. For the old man's sake, I wanted to keep it together. "John?" "Yes, sir..." My voice carried, but just barely.
Ricardo Torralba and August Morrison don’t agree on much besides the fact that they hate each other. According to Ricardo, August is a spoiled brat who really needs to knock off the sass once in a while. August insists that Ricardo needs a sense of humor, a good lay, or a well-placed bullet. Maybe all three. Fortunately, the assassin’s profession is a solitary one, and they can go about their lives without getting in each other’s way. Usually. When a contracted hit turns out to be a setup for both of them, they narrowly escape with their lives. Now, even if they don’t like it (spoiler: they don’t), August and Ricardo have to work together if they want a shot at survival. In between...
