Trackers, Book 3
Raven and Miguel are still on a tough recovery case involving a rare pigeon’s blood ruby worth millions of dollars. There’s a very real threat hanging over their heads, and they’re stuck with a client they don’t exactly trust, her attorney whom they suspect is involved in the whole mess, and a man claiming to be a “friend” of the widow who looks more like an extra from a mobster movie.
They’ve had more action in the first few days than they ever wanted to. Opening a new recovery business shouldn’t be this dangerous, but then again, unexpected rogue CIA operatives trying to murder them wasn’t on the cards either. Unfortunately, only three have been caught, leaving at least one more out there, desperate to get his hands on a stolen shipment of gems.
When a moldering body turns up with Raven and Miguel’s names in his pocket, things really start heating up and the bullets start to fly. Making things even more complicated— every single government alphabet agency is getting in each other’s way, and trust is in short supply. Right when it seems there’s no way out, old friends inadvertently give them a clue how to get out of all this mess with their hides intact.
From the mean streets of Los Angeles to the tropical paradise of Grand Cayman, join Raven and Miguel in the exciting conclusion of the Trackers series.
So…the FBI wants you in protective custody,” Cassidy said.
I stood up, letting go of Miguel’s hand. “No way, Cassidy. In case it escaped anyone’s attention, that didn’t work out so good for the guy at the coffee shop.”
“Raven, that wasn’t the FBI’s fault,” Mike said. “That witness voluntarily left their safehouse. Once he took his safety into his own hands, all bets were off. Far be it for me to defend the FBI, but the truth is, they really were trying to protect Rufus Modelo until he had a chance to testify against the head of the Sanchez Cartel. By escaping their custody and calling his girlfriend, Gina Cardoza, he put his own life and hers at risk. And one of the Sanchez Cartels’ bosses, will probably walk since Modelo is no longer around to testify.”
I stared them both down. “Maybe he had a reason to be scared. Maybe he figured out that it wasn’t safe in FBI custody.”
I shrugged, glancing at Miguel before looking back at him. “Maybe. It’s not the first time, I’m sure.”
Miguel reached out a hand to me. “Come here.”
I walked over and took his hand, allowing him to pull me back down to the arm of the chair as he smiled up at me. “You watch too much TV.”
“That’s not fair!” I would have jumped up again if he didn’t have such a tight grip on my hand.
“Raven.”
I dragged my death glare away from Miguel and back to Cassidy. “What?”
“Do you trust Lincoln and Mac?” he asked.
“Of course, but—”
“Then, if I told you they agreed two guys from his team will be the agents assigned to take charge of your protection, would that make you feel any better?”
I shrugged. “I guess, but I don’t understand why anyone would think Miguel is being targeted anyway. No one could have known he’d be at that coffee shop and in case it’s escaped anyone’s notice, he wasn’t the one shot by a cartel hitman. That guy had been targeting that Modelo guy, not Miguel,” I said, sure I was right about this.
“Raven?”
I looked down at Miguel. “Who says the cartel was targeting me? That guy outside Trader Joe’s had you in his sights. He tried to shoot you in the back of the head, not me.”
I opened my mouth and then shut it before turning to Mike and Cassidy. “Me? Why? I don’t have any connection to the Sanchez Cartel…or any cartel.”
“No, but we think Benedict Flores did and that makes both of you targets.” Cassidy lifted his face and sniffed the air. “I’ll tell you why after we get that coffee.” He smiled.
“Oh, shit.” I jumped up. “Be right back.” I ran into the kitchen and returned with a coffee mug for each of them. “So, tell me.”
I’ve always been a sucker for a guy with muscles and a handsome face. If that makes me sound shallow, maybe I am. I’ve never had a real relationship, unless you consider the guys in my Marine Corps Recon unit. I had a great relationship with those guys. Yeah, yeah, I know we’re splitting hairs. These days, long after my retirement from active duty, the only kind of relationships I really do now are with fictional characters.
I love to read, and in fact lately, I’ve been frequenting the pages of my favorite blog, Bestreads, to escape my real-life job, one I’m not very well suited for. One reviewer on there—Nightcrawler—absolutely slays me. He always makes me laugh, steering me clear of some of the worst trash out there when I’m not trying to earn money as a bounty hunter. Maybe someday the right man will come along, and he won’t simply be a book boyfriend.
Someday.
Lately, I can’t get intrigued by any of the guys I’ve met in bars. Hookups are becoming less and less interesting for me. I’m a reader and of late, I’m also a half decent reviewer. I work exclusively for a blog called Bestreads, working under the name of Nightcrawler and I’m not ashamed to admit, I try to make them funny. In my line of work as a recovery agent for a big insurance company, I’m finding my off hours much more pleasurable. I think about my next review and my next blog post all the time. Whenever I put up a funny two-star review, I dream of the guy who might be at home reading it, but pretty sure the kind of man who reads me, is probably living in his mother’s basement. Still, I’m a romantic at heart. Someday I might just run into him in one of my stories.
Though Raven Mathis and Miguel Huerta have recently opened their new recovery business, doing things they used to do on their own, things haven’t been going so well. But some things have gone right. They’ve settled down in Nana’s house and are deeply in love. And they’re getting accustomed to working as partners, but business is slow. But when they get a call asking if they can help recover a valuable pigeon’s blood ruby, they jump at the chance, even though they’re advised to carry guns.
When the man Miguel left for dead in the desert long ago unexpectedly shows up at their first meeting with their new client, the request that they come armed, suddenly becomes a harsh reality. Miguel is in total disbelief as he’s abruptly faced with a ghost who might be out for blood. And when a dark stranger starts making threats, things start spiraling out of control. Miguel hates the fact that Raven is in terrible danger, and how is his former lover involved?
Figuring out how to navigate Miguel’s past may prove harder to overcome than they realize. It’s a lot to ask of Raven. Will their love for each other be enough? The rush to figure out why operatives are targeting them becomes a necessity, and though Miguel hates it, he realizes he may just have to rely on a few new colleagues to help.
He knows one thing, though…killing the man he’d once been in love with, might be the only way to save Raven.
