return to Los Banos. Until then, Esteban can handle things for me.” And by handle things, she meant continue to make deliveries across the border, keep their customers happy, and kill as many of the Toro Cartel as they could find.
    “Supervising your drug kingdom is not your biggest worry. This is.” Alessandra flung a newspaper down on the table in front of her. The headlines were huge and disturbing. Texas Millionaire Rancher Goes Missing On Honeymoon.  
    Martina stared at the paper as if it were a rattlesnake. “He is with me, now.”
    “He was on his honeymoon.” The accusatory tone was loud and clear.
    “I can make him happy.” She had no doubt she could. Aron McCoy was what her life had been lacking. She possessed money, talent and ultimate power. What she did not have was someone to share it with. Her father, sister and uncle were family, but they weren’t enough. She wanted excitement and passion. “The paperwork is being prepared. By the time we leave the hospital, Aron will be Austin Wade. All of his history will be manufactured, clothes will be bought, his room at Los Banos prepared and furnished as if he’s been living there for some time.”
    “How do you propose to pull this off? This man is well known. He is the head of a powerful family. I’ve seen the news coverage. I’ve read the reports. They are going to turn the world upside down looking for him.”
    Martina raised her head, her chin stubborn. She looked down her nose at her sister. “I will make him happy. This man was meant to belong to me.” Raising her hand into the air, she gestured with passion. “The Deity gave him to me. I did not go looking for him. He came to me!”
    Alessandra narrowed her eyes at her powerful sister. “You are spoiled to having your own way, about everything. But these McCoys will not give up.” She rose and looked Martina in the eye. “I fear you will regret this day. And Aron will hate you when he realizes you took him away from his wife.”
    “Damn his wife,” Martina whispered. “He’s mine, now.”
    “I worry about you.” Alessandra threw her arms around her sister. “Don’t you know I stay scared to death someone is going to blow you up or assassinate you? I don’t want you to die. And this is just crazy. You can’t force a man to love you.”
    She held her sister, reassuring her with a pat on the back. “I have to try. He is my ideal, I have wanted him forever.”
    Stepping back, Alessandra sighed. “We don’t always get what we want, Martina. No matter how many guns we have.”
    The double doors at the end of the hall swung open and Martina’s heart surged up into her throat. She hadn’t really considered the possibility that Aron wouldn’t live through surgery. But now, the solemn look on the doctor’s face scared her. She walked to meet him, leaving her sister standing in the door watching.
    “Will he be okay?” She knew the doctor was aware of her identity, or rather what she was. It had crossed her mind he might take out his prejudice against her by letting Aron die. That would be a mistake.
    “Ms. Delgado.” The doctor approached her. “Mr., uh, Wade had intracranial hemorrhaging. We will have to keep him in a comatose state to allow the swelling to subside and to calm his system.”
    “Will he recover?” Her voice sounded weak, even to herself.
    “I see no problems at this point. We’ll monitor his condition.”
    “Will he get his memory back?”
    He crossed his arms. “An injury to the brain isn’t like a broken arm or a burn. When the brain swells and compresses itself against the skull, the pressure can cause impairment. The type of impairment is unpredictable. There could be memory loss, confusion, erratic mood swings...all of this is quite normal.”
    “So, he could wake up and not know who he is?”
    “Absolutely.” He looked her directly in the eye, a half smile on his face. “I make no guarantees. I suggest you be ready for
