Docked at a pricey marina in La Paz, her cruising kitty is taking a hit, so when she's offered a dream job, she jumps on it. All she has to do is act as a courier, babysitting equipment and sensitive documentation for her former employer to their new offices in France. Not only does she get to revisit a country she once lived in and loved, she'll meet with her significant other, Jenks Jenkins, in Paris. Oh l l An easy job and a romantic vacation, all paid for; what could possibly go wrong? With Hetta? Just about everything.
