Recovering from his injuries inflicted by a South American Drug Cartel while undercover, Logan Phelps was only to do recon as Professor Perkins when he gained an invitation to dine with Courtney Swanson, the daughter of a California Senator who was completing her doctorate using wild dolphins to detect drug drops off the coast of Baja, Mexico. The attraction between the two is immediate and explosive, just like the Mexican gang sent to detain Courtney. A private company, The Agency, hired by Senator Swanson to protect his daughter, is kept from carrying out the job due to immigrant rioting along the Mexico-California border. It becomes a race against time to save Courtney and Logan in Tijuana from two separate entities that wish them harm, as well as finding the mole in The Agency before any operatives are killed.

Dear Reader,

I had completed the first draft of this story before things began to heat up south of the border. It seemed that my story of gang warfare along the Mexico-U.S. border predated the articles in the newspapers printed in the fall of 2008. Living in Phoenix, Arizona, I see U.S. citizens struggle to accept the flow of immigrants from Mexico, regardless of the reasons.

The story of illegal drug trafficking is a long one. The U.S. Border Patrol, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Coast Guard, and other agencies work to stem the flow of drugs coming into the U.S. for the preservation of life from those working the front lines, to the end users. The story of Kate is the same one lived by numerous high school students every day across the country, and exemplifies why the U.S. government continues to pump millions of dollars into efforts to tighten the tourniquet around those profiting from illegal actions.

The U.S. Navy does have a program involving the training of marine animals to detect explosives on incoming cargo vessels, ship recovery, and locating downed aircraft. There have been stories throughout time of dolphins saving shipwrecked sailors, or fighting off sharks to protect a human diver or surfer. It is not a stretch that intelligent animals can be trained to help man control a nemesis that claims too many lives.

I've included a Spanish Glossary in the back for those of you who are unfamiliar with the vocabulary that I've included in the story.

Enjoy Of Dolphins and Desires. Dive beneath the surface and discover what awaits!

Fondly,

Michele Venne
