The Barrel Racer: A Whole New World
Mystery, danger, and suspense permeate this action/adventure novel. Quinn Buckley and Daniesha Whitlock are smart and fearless as they navigate the world of street gangs, criminals, corrupt politicians, and a ruthless Mexican cartel. They fervently fight evil and injustice, even when the authorities have exhausted all options. One is white, the other black. Their backgrounds could not be more different. Quinn is an independent-minded small-town cowgirl; Dani is a streetwise survivor from the inner city.
They meet as newbies in an elite high school. Neither of them fit into the privileged culture, which becomes their bond. Both are beautiful and confident, traits that come in handy as they neutralize bullies and toxic masculinity. Their fortitude is tested when they must outsmart a ruthless Mexican cartel to rescue a kidnapped a family member. The activist wife of a Texas oil billionaire risks it all in support of their mission. They also obtain unlikely assistance from a notorious street gang.
Spoiler alert - someone takes an unwilling ride in the Mexican desert.
