Sequestered in a sleazy New York hotel room, Colin Fairfax
is confronted by a curly, auburn-haired leprechaun in lieu
of the informant he's expecting. The gorgeous, tiny woman
is Maggie Ryan, a PI from Texas, of the Delgado family, who
possesses white witch magic. Colin is searching for his
brother, John, and Maggie is searching for information
concerning the family of the orphaned baby girl in her
custody. Bullets fly and Colin, pierced in the side, is
saved by Maggie and healed with her witchcraft.
Arriving in Zavala Springs, Texas, Colin meets his niece
Emma, the sweet baby who's been with Maggie since John and
his wife were murdered by drug lord El Jefe, a black witch.
The cartel plans to kill Colin for asking too many
questions regarding John's death. Hiding away at Maggie's
place, she and Colin are shocked by the shots of sexual
energy they feel for each other when they touch, and soon
find themselves engaged in explosive sex.
Colin has difficulty believing the three Ryans have been
cursed with sterility by their great-grandmother after
their father was blamed for their mother's death. Maggie is
terrified she may lose the only child she will have if
Colin takes Emma away. When Maggie and Emma are kidnapped
by El Jefe, Colin must avenge his brother while also
realizing he will have no life if he loses Maggie and Emma.
Another terrific story in the Safekeepers series; they just
get better and better. Linda Conrad just keeps
outdoing herself creating each new story, completely unique
and full of excitement. Her love scenes are scorching hot
and graphic enough to excite any reader. I have found her
to be extremely gifted with words and able to create
exciting characters. The only fault is the story ends way
too soon!
The trail had gone cold in Major Colin Fairfax's
high-stakes murder investigation. Then danger struck…and he
took a bullet for a feisty redhead who had information on
his brother's killer. Maggie Ryan assaulted his senses with
her potent beauty, yet Colin's hackles rose when he
realized the P.I. was keeping secrets.
Tainted by dark
misfortune, Maggie refused to let Colin's orphaned niece
become collateral damage in the Mexican drug trade. However,
she was less certain about her feelings for the
overprotective Brit who kissed her breathless one minute and
roused her Irish temper the next. But nothing would prevent
her from bringing Colin home to Texas to face down their
enemy….
