With children back in school and fall weather closing in,
it's the perfect time to take stock and treat yourself
right. Author Teri
Riggs has the perfect contest for you! One winner will
receive their choice of an ecopy or print copy of RESOLUTIONS
and a bag of swag:
DEA agent Eve Taylor has had her fill of alpha
males. When Resolutions’ operative and former lover, Dillon
“Mac” McKenna, threatened her hard-earned independence, she
ran. On a mission to gather evidence against a Colombian
drug-lord, Eve discovers the drug-lord is helping terrorists
plan an attack on American soil. Before she can escape with
the vital information, she’s captured and comes face to face
with her mortality…
As a teen, Mac watched his family fall apart after his
mother died doing dangerous U.N. work. The possibility of
losing Eve to a mission ignited an overwhelming need to
protect her. When he forced her to choose him or her job,
she walked away. Two years later, it seems all his
nightmares have come true and he’s tasked with rescuing her
from a Colombian prison. Mac has never stopped loving Eve,
but does he dare risk his heart when he’s so terrified of
losing…
On the run, Mac and Eve must learn to trust each other again
in order to stay alive.

On the run, Mac and Eve must learn to trust each other again
in order to stay alive.
“Dammit, Eve, I didn’t mean I needed to take care of you, I
just meant—”
“I know exactly what you meant.” She added a sheathed
K-bar knife to her belt, grabbed one of the assault rifles
Cade had brought along, and tossed the strap over her good
shoulder. “Let’s finish this. The quicker this mission is
completed, the sooner our partnership is finished. It’s too
hard to be around you.”
“Wait, Eve. Listen, I’m sorry if I offended you. I know
you can keep up.”
“You want to smother me. I can’t handle the alpha shit
anymore. I can’t change what happened to your mother, and I
damned well can’t live my life trying to make up for her
death. Let’s be honest, we just aren’t meant to be
together.”
Mac grabbed her good arm. “Eve, don’t write me off yet.
We can work through this. We’ll talk later.”
“Not gonna happen.” She pulled away.
Eve hopped from the AH-6J and stood with both feet apart
in front of Cade and Corelli. “You two don’t have to worry
about me not pulling my weight. I’m good to go.”
She spun around and stomped off toward Mendoza’s
compound.
“Shit, Mac, I think you’ve gone and pissed your lady off
big-time. Gonna make this job all kinds of fun.” Cade smiled
sheepishly.
