Deserted by her mother and never knowing her father,
Magdalena Varcek was raised by her grandmother, "Baba," who
told her to always look for the signs the universe would
give to make decisions in her life. After Baba dies, the
signs lead teenaged runaway Maggie to Ramon Jimenez. Too
late, she realizes that Ramon belongs to a notorious
criminal family, and she will probably be killed if she
tries to leave. In addition, she has fallen in love with
one of the Jimenez crew, Michael Scott, and is pregnant
with his child. Only 18, Maggie still has hopes she will
find her happily ever after with Michael. She plans to tell
him about the baby before an important "shipment," but ends
up watching in horror as the FBI raids the site. She also
discovers that Michael is actually an FBI agent and has
betrayed her. Only minutes later, he is brought from the
building, a casualty of the gunfire.
Maggie flees again, and 14 years later she has settled
down. After marrying a kind man but then losing him to
illness, she is content with her life as the single mother
of teenager Quinn, her worst problems being some debts from
her bar business and trying to find time to date. So when a
handsome stranger walks into the bar and shows a definite
interest in Maggie, she flirts with him and they end up
making out. She never suspects that Dan Gallagher, a member
of the elite Bullet Catcher security organization, is the
same Michael Scott she has thought dead for all these
years.
After finding out that Ramon Jimenez has been released from
prison, Dan tells himself he just wants to make sure
Maggie's okay. A confirmed bachelor, he doesn't expect the
physical and emotional reaction he has on seeing her again --
and then the punch in the gut from seeing her son, who
looks almost exactly like a teenaged Dan did. But because
of his disguise all those years ago, Maggie doesn't make
the connection. It's up to Dan to tell her the truth.
Meanwhile, the Jimenez family is looking for revenge and a
hidden fortune, and many of them believe Maggie is not only
the person who betrayed Ramon, but she also knows where the
money is. Dan and Maggie must put their personal lives on
hold when both she and Quinn are threatened, and Dan finds
himself with a new assignment in which the stakes have
never been higher.
The Bullet Catcher books take readers on a roller coaster
ride of thrills, danger and suspense, made even more pulse-
pounding by the steamy love scenes! The action will grab
you from the first page and not let go until the end, but
more than that, there's a complex relationship between Dan
and Maggie that gives the book heart and soul, as well. But
those personal issues never slow the pace -- if anything,
they ramp up the tension even further. One thing I
appreciate about the Bullet Catcher series is that they're
great standalone reads -- but like potato chips and
chocolates, I think once you try one, you'll crave more!
Fourteen years ago, Bullet Catcher Dan Gallagher watched
Maggie Varcek flee into the Miami night as gunfire exploded
around them. Now drug lord Ramon Jimenez wants revenge for
the FBI bust Maggie unwittingly aided. Furious at Dan's past
betrayal, Maggie refuses his protection, yet the passion
between them still burns irresistibly hot. Then Ramon
strikes terrifyingly close, and the rejoined lovers are
forced into a race against time to unlock a deadly puzzle
before everything they hold most dear is destroyed...
forever.
