Sick of paparazzi, her handlers, and her fans, she wants to cruise under the radar for a while, so she invites her loudmouthed sister on a backcountry motorcycle ride down Baja. Cat is prepping for a role as a motocross racer, and Sissy races bikes back in Texas. The trip offers the sisters a trade: Cat gets her sister's coaching, and Sis gets an all-expenses-paid vacation. Should be a win-win, but trouble starts when Sis brings along an uninvited friend. The getaway takes on new meaning when Sis's friend turns out to be a drug mule, making the trio a target for the cops and the cartel. Far from the average chick lit story, this road trip adventure spirals down into a dark and suspenseful thriller when Cat finds herself trapped in a nightmarish race to make it home safely. She survives a violent mugging, a stint in prison, and a murderous rampage at a Day of the Dead parade, only to face a day of reckoning she cannot forget-and may never recover from.","brand":"SDP Publishing Solutions, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075422044400,"sku":"2940158014703","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158014703_p0.jpg?v=1764107899","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158014703","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
