As a Marine and a sharpshooter, Wade Cordell has seen more
than his share of violence and death. Currently an
independent contractor with Bullet Catchers, an elite
security and investigation firm, he's feeling a little
burnt-out after a recent "messy" assignment. So when Lucy
Sharpe, the head of the organization, offers him a full-
time position, he immediately says no. But then Lucy
suggests that Wade take on an easy job while he thinks
things over; he'll travel to the Caribbean, find beautiful
blonde investment banker Vanessa Porter, and bring her back
from vacation to meet her birth mother. Eileen Stafford had
triplet girls and gave them up shortly before being
convicted of murder. She's now very ill in prison and needs
a bone marrow transplant, so Bullet Catchers is tracking
down her daughters. Wade may need to use some persuasion to
convince Vanessa to cut short her trip to help a total
stranger, but other than that, the job seems simple enough.
But Vanessa Porter isn't on a vacation, she's on a mission.
Her friend Clive Easterbrook has disappeared somewhere in
the islands, and she's worried about his mental state, as
he's prone to depression. Like a hurricane, Vanessa is
storming through Clive's last-known whereabouts, demanding
answers to her questions. When a handsome gentleman helps
her out of a tight spot, she's grateful but certainly
doesn't need a partner. Shocked when Wade explains why he's
sought her out, Vanessa quickly recovers and uses her Wall
Street wiles to make a deal: If Wade helps her find Clive,
she'll go to meet Eileen. Of course, it doesn't hurt that
Wade is incredibly sexy and there's a heat between them
that has nothing to do with the tropical climate!
Their search begins to uncover some unsettling details
about Clive's recent activities, however. They may be in
more danger than Clive as they draw the attention of some
people who may not want him to be found...ever. Both Vanessa
and Wade must open their carefully guarded hearts and trust
each other if they're going to make it back to the states
alive.
This latest entry in the Bullet Catchers series will grab
readers from the first page and not let go! Vanessa has
some hard edges that Wade has to smooth down, and the
friction between them heats up the pages. At the same time,
there's also intrigue -- both personal and professional --
back at Bullet Catchers headquarters, related to Eileen
Stafford and her murder conviction. The heady combination
of romance and suspense will leave readers breathless and
eagerly anticipating the next installment.
The Bullet Catcher trilogy continues as Wade Cordell hunts
down a woman who doesn’t want to be found…but she needs
his skill and he needs her…everything. Don’t miss this
steamy trip to the islands.
