Naturally, when she’s chosen by a very dangerous group for a very dangerous mission, she jumps at the chance… The head of the powerful Cortez Cabal—a family that makes the mob look like amateurs—has a little problem in Miami: a gang of wealthy, bored offspring of supernaturals is getting out of hand, and Hope is needed to infiltrate.
