Romance Contemporary

Luke "Sin" Callahan has just buried his best friend he has worked beside in the DEA unit, for whose death he takes the blame. Resigning from the DEA he plans to spend time with his identical twin and other brother fishing and living aboard the Miss Behavin II docked at the Caddo Bayou Marina in Louisiana. His biggest surprise is finding a gorgeous, sexy redhead in his bed when he arrives back at the yacht.

Maddie Kincaid, aka Baby Dagger Connaught, is the real-life rock princess of the famous rock star Blade Connaught, hiding from the paparazzi to find a normal life and place to call home. Not only is the sexpot on his boat, but also hauling over six million dollars worth of magic mushrooms in her car. Maddie is the quiet proprietor of Home for Now, a senior care in Brazos Bend, Texas. Sent by Luke's estranged father, Branch, both are caught off guard with the predicament. Coerced into helping Maddie, they soon become entangled in suspense, drug trafficking and dodging the bad guys.

All Luke wants is to protect Maddie when he takes her back home, only to find that they have jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Luke would never admit to falling for the woman and she sure wouldn't either after three disastrous love affairs of men using her for her fame and money. As the mystery and threat to Maddie are finally uncovered, what does she have to do to set things right with the one man she really and truly loves, to convince him she is what he needs?

If it's excitement, mystery, humor, and sex you want, LUKE is definitely the book for you. These two characters are the most colorful, amusing and wonderful that you will ever encounter. Once this LUKE is picked up, good luck in getting anything else done until that very last page is turned. Emily March never fails to deliver an excellent read that takes you through a fun and mysterious trail. I love her stories and especially the great characters she creates for us.

SUMMARY

They are the Bad Boys of Brazos Bendβ€”Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John Callahan. New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author Emily March invites readers to travel from Eternity Springs to Brazos Bend, the small hometown of the Callahan brothers snuggled deep in the heart of Texas. DEA agent Luke Callahan has suffered one loss too many and a fishing trip with his brothers is just what his broken spirit needs to heal. What he doesn’t need is a gorgeous stowaway harboring secrets and running from killers. Never mind that he does his best work undercover… Maddie Kincaid is accustomed to trouble, but she’d hoped to leave it behind when she settled in peaceful Brazos Bend. Who would have guessed that helping a gentle old man would land her in the middle of an attempted murderβ€”her own? Now she’s running for her lifeβ€”straight into the arms of the infamous Luke Callahan. Lucky for her, he’s deadlier than the men chasing her. Unfortunately for him, protecting her means breaking a vow he holds dear. When the nights heat up and the secrets start to spill, Luke faces a brand new dangerβ€”losing the woman he loves. What’s a mad, bad, and lethal Callahan man gonna do? This is a full length novel of approximately 100,000 words, previously published as GIVE HIM THE SLIP. Revised and updated by the author.
