Alex Duval's manuscript is late, and Veracruz, Mexico seems the ideal place to complete his novel, but then he gets one glimpse of sensuous Exoda Carmona and his world now is dominated by thoughts of another sexual encounter. Suddenly the Mexican Mafia wants to know who stole its money, and now Duval's book is less important than finding sexy Exoda and hoping he can stay alive before the sadistic hit men come calling.
