Zero Escape by Kendall Talbot

To survive, Charlene must accept that her whole life was a lie.
For twenty years, Charlene Bailey has been living by the same mantra: pay in cash, keep only what you can carry, trust no one and always be ready to run. That is until her father is brutally murdered in New Orleans by a woman screaming a language Charlene doesn’t understand. When police reveal the man she’d known all her life was not her biological father, Charlene is swept up in a riptide of dark secrets and deadly crimes.

The key to her true identity lies in a dangerous Cuban compound run by a lethal kingpin, but Charlene can’t reach it alone. After a life of relying on herself, she’ll have to trust Marshall Crow, a tough-as-nails ex-Navy man, to smuggle her into Havana.
The answers to Charlene’s past are as dark as the waters she and Marshall must navigate, but a killer in the shadows will stop at nothing to drown the truth.

Zero Escape is a heart-pounding action-adventure novel with a dash of romance that crosses from New Orleans to the back streets of Havana, Cuba. It’s a full-length, stand-alone Maximum Exposure novel, previously published as Out of Luck.
