Story Behind The Book

Advertising Executive, Ebonee (Coco) Shades has amassed money and power, but there is still one thing that overshadows her success; a broken heart. Her best friend Rachel Barnet is a big practical joker, but she is determined to help Coco get past this obstacle in her life. So she suggests they take a vacation together. Coco agrees but under one condition; that Rachel not pull any stunts while on the trip. When Rachel agrees, Coco decides on exotic Acapulco, Mexico. They arrive in Acapulco excited and ready to relax and have fun. Unfortunately this will not be the case. Love and danger await these two friends. When Rachel breaks her promise to Coco because she can’t resist just one little prank, Coco is kidnapped by the mob. Thus begins the web of danger and intrigue. Rachel and her new found friends have to race against time and set out to rescue Coco before it is too late, and Rachel soon finds out that her latest stunt could wind up costing more than she is willing to pay --- the life of her best friend.
