Trust is fragile, love is risky, and faith is their only hope in a game where a single betrayal could cost everything.

Tucker “Tango” Hunt is a tech genius with a reputation for solving the toughest cases. When he’s hired by a security firm to track down an employee threatening to leak sensitive documents, he expects a quick mission—until he finds Alice.

Alice has always been driven by a desire to make the world a better place, but when the choices she’s made lead to a dangerous betrayal, she’s forced to run. The good she once believed in is now entangled with dark secrets—and the cost is more than she ever imagined.

Tucker is determined to bring Alice to justice just as he was hired to do, but when he finds her in a remote town, everything changes. Her strength and vulnerability stir something deep within him—something he can't ignore.

The more time he spends with her, the more he questions the mission he was sent on.

In a race against time, Tucker and Alice must uncover the truth—while battling the growing love between them. But with enemies closing in, can their faith and love survive the deadly game they’re caught in?

Read an excerpt from Tango

“I see you brought travel companions,” I comment when I note the two dogs sitting at their feet. Tango I recognize, thanks to the small white dot near his long nose. The other, I’m assuming, is Delta. That is, if they stuck with the phonetic-alphabet naming convention.

“May we come in?” Tucker questions.

“Do you plan to kill or abduct me?” I ask.

“Would we tell you if we were going to?” Tucker retorts. “Doesn’t exactly seem like something we’d advertise.”

I smile. “Fair enough. I’m going to remain armed. I’m assuming you don’t mind.”

“Not at all.” Tucker turns to Dylan. “Do you mind?”

“Armed or not, it wouldn’t matter,” he says. The cold tone he uses is a direct contrast to the warmth Tucker gives off, but I still don’t believe either man would hurt me. Not at this point, anyway.

“Come on in.” I step aside, let them and their dogs in, then close and lock the door behind them, all while ensuring I don’t turn my back.

Then, I lean against the door as they turn to face me.

“How did you find me?”

“Your parents told us that you vacationed here as a kid,” Tucker replies. “Then while you were changing my wallpaper, I was able to make it through all of your VPN’s and narrow down the exact location as confirmation.”

“That was only a few hours ago. If you were in Texas, then you shouldn’t be here yet.”

“Who said we were in Texas?” Tucker questions. “We’ve been here in California since late last night. The next cabin over, actually.” He grins. “Like I said, your parents gave us your location. I merely verified it when you hacked my computer. Great choice on the Thai food you ordered for dinner, by the way. We had some too, and it was delicious.”

“So you’ve been watching me.” It’s a bit of a hit to my pride that I didn’t notice it, but I remind myself this guy has a military background, and—well—it’s really not a surprise that I didn’t see him coming. Isn’t that what Special Forces do? Remain in the shadows until they’re ready to be seen?

“Had to know what you were up to,” Tucker replies. “So now that I’m here, are you planning to keep your end of the bargain or not?” He crosses his muscled arms, and my gaze momentarily drops. It’s only a second—less than, even—but given the smirk on his handsome face, he noticed.

“How do I know I can trust you?”

“I guess you don’t. But the fact that we didn’t bring Web Safe or police crawling all over this place should be proof enough that we’re not here to hurt you.” It’s Dylan who responds this time, and his tone is on the total opposite end of the spectrum compared to Tucker.

Whereas Tucker’s tone is challenging in an amusing kind of way, Dylan’s is a dare. As though he’s just waiting for me to step out of line. Intriguing. Two twins, totally different personalities.

I’ve already decided to trust Tucker, so what’s one more Hunt brother? “Good point. Okay, but buckle up, boys, because it’s one heck of a ride.”
