BLURB:
In a situation this volatile, something is bound to blow!
Three. . .
T-FLAC operative Asher Daklin is running out of time in his race
to end the production and sale of the word's most deadly explosive before a
cataclysmic terrorist event occurs. This op isn't just his last chance at
redemption, it’s deeply personal. Because of him, E-1x took his brother’s life
and nearly incapacitated him. Now, with the timer counting down the remaining
hours, he has to go deep under cover at the home of the mastermind producing
the deadly explosive and stop him. Daklin can't allow anything, or anyone, to
distract him from his mission.
Two…
Lingerie designer River Sullivan is on a mission of her own—to
find her genius brother. When millions of dollars are inexplicably wired
to her account she knows he's trouble. Traveling to the small mining town of
Los Santos, situated in the mountainous jungles of Cosio, she accepts the
hospitality of her brother’s employer and searches for clues as to Oliver
whereabouts. If only she wasn’t overcome with inappropriate lust for one of the
other houseguests- a gorgeous bishop with a warriors body and laser-sharp eyes
that hint at deep, dark secrets.
One!
River and Daklin find themselves in a race against time,
hampered by staggering odds and overwhelming desire. Daklin has one final,
desperate chance to prove himself, keep River safe, and save the day. . .

If
Asher Daklin wasn't on a time-sensitive op, if his career wasn't already FUBAR,
seeing the long, shapely legs of a beautiful blonde emerging from a red sports
car would've intrigued him. But seeing said blonde and the Mustang
convertible—circa 1990—in a tiny village in Cosio, in the middle of goddamned
nowhere, put him on high alert. He'd seen the woman three hundred miles away,
and nine hours earlier, refusing assistance with her luggage at the Santa de
Pores airport.
She'd
followed him over the mountain.
It
was a six-hour trip. Where'd she been for the other three?
Undercover,
and in character from the moment he'd landed in Cosio, Daklin's disguise was
that of a bishop, there to "authenticate" an "apparition"
for deeply religious, and even more unscrupulous radical Francisco Xavier. The
“apparition” was one of T-FLAC's making. It should be interesting to see the FX
in person later tonight.
In
the meantime, Daklin was trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey in layered
liturgical vestments of cassock, white rochet, and over that the black Chimere.
Even at dusk, the temperature in the valley hovered in the mid-nineties;
humidity, eighty percent. Sweat ran down the small of his back, making the
layers of fabric stick to him like a shroud.
Bringing
his parish priest with him, Francisco Xavier himself had personally come to
collect Bishop Daklin from the airport earlier that morning in an
air-conditioned four-wheel drive replete with snacks and bottles of iced water.
He'd done the twelve hour round trip just so he could talk to Bishop Daklin
about his apparition in private. Nothing in this small, poor village of Los
Santos was private. All of Franco's vehicles, his home and his private chapel,
had been bugged since the other five T-FLAC operatives had arrived a week
earlier.
The
only reason T-FLAC had given Daklin this one last chance was because he was the
resident authority on E-1x. If not for that, his out of control drinking after
Josh's death would've gotten his ass fired.
He
couldn't afford to be distracted. He'd figured he could lay off the booze for
the three days necessary to do this job. Only he hadn't anticipated this new
temptation.
