Synopsis
An intricate scheme to abduct the children of the most powerful politicians on Capitol Hill gets disrupted when Kerry Branson, ex-homicide detective turned private investigator, inadvertently rescues one of the victims on a fog-laden backroad in the Piney Woods of East Texas.When Kerry discovers the six-year-old boy is the son of a U.S. Senator kidnapped from his Austin home, her call to the FBI is just the beginning of her problems. Pursued by a ruthless band of mercenaries who seem to know her every move, Kerry is forced into an uneasy alliance with the agent assigned to the case, FBI Tracker Ryan Barr.
As the abductions continue, their search for the children will pit Kerry and Ryan against a formidable adversary who uses his wealth and political power to cloak a psychopathic obsession. His manipulation extends deep into the government even to the Office of the President.
A horrific plan slowly emerges--one that has drug cartels and terrorist groups lined up to cash in.
Teaser: Exclusive Excerpt
The deputy’s attention was focused on whatever was happening in the lobby, and she slipped out the door. A bend in the hall and up ahead was an exit sign. The door opened onto the parking lot on the side of the hospital. Tristan groaned and twisted in her arms.In a whisper, Kerry said, “Tristan, this is another part of the game. Can you pretend to be a ghost and not let anyone know you are here?”
At the sound of her voice, he relaxed. “I think so.”
Hugging the wall as she moved, Kerry scanned the parking lot for any movement. At the corner, she stopped to peep around the edge. A man, wearing a dark ski mask, leaned against the front of her truck.
Damn! The boy’s weight was heavy in her arms, and she leaned against the brick wall. What was she going to do now? She hated to leave her truck, but she had to find a place to hide.
Shouts, then a shot rang out from inside the hospital. Leaning forward for another peek, she saw the man straighten, hesitate as he looked around the parking lot, then race to the front door.
With Tristan balanced in one arm, her fingers groped in her pocket for the keys. Hitting the remote, she unlocked the doors.

Sentinels of the Night [1]
FBI Tracker Cat Morgan has an unusual talent, one she has successfully concealed, even from her fellow agents. That is—until she finds a body with a strange symbol carved on the forehead during a stop in Clinton, Mississippi and crosses paths with the town’s rugged police chief, Kevin Hunter.
Despite his instant attraction to the sexy agent, Kevin is suspicious of her presence at the crime scene and isn’t buying her dubious explanations. He wants her out of the investigation and out of his town.
The discovery of another mutilated body with the same symbol sends Cat back to Clinton, and this time she isn’t leaving. To stop the killer, Cat must find a way to overcome Kevin’s distrust and will face an impossible impasse—truth or lies.
But will either one matter, when the killer fixates on her for his next sacrifice?
