AGENT UNDERCOVER
When a woman drags Blake Harrison out of his wrecked car, he knows the mysterious stranger has saved his life. But more shocking than the hit-and-run is the news that a crime cartel has infiltrated his factory. There’s a fortune to be made by tampering with the factory’s products…but only if Blake is out of the way. Undercover FBI agent Heidi Zimmerman has two goals—catch the criminals in the act, and keep Blake alive. Falling for the single dad and his adorable daughter isn’t in the plan. But everything changes when an abduction leaves Heidi face-to-face with a killer, revealing the danger that’s been hiding in plain sight all along…
Why didn’t she answer?
Blake redialed Heidi’s phone again, and again it went to voice mail.
She and his daughter were probably headed back, so he decided to meet them. He didn’t have much time left with Heidi; he wouldn’t waste a minute. But when he reached the creek, they weren’t there, and a vague unease settled in his gut. He quickened his pace through the forest toward his house.
“Heidi! Maggie!”
No reason to panic. Heidi knew this mountain as well as he did.
But the house was empty. So was her cabin. Now his breath came in gasps as he tried her phone again. He left a message. “Heidi, where are you? Call me.”
He ran down to the road, calling their names. But Heidi wouldn’t allow Maggie to walk along the narrow road.
Blake rubbed his temples and tried to breathe. Tried to stop the thoughts from tumbling in his brain. Missing… Why?
Who?
His phone rang and his heart soared, then crashed when an unknown number lit up the screen. “Yes?”
“Hello, Blake,” a cold voice said.
“Who is this?”
“I’m the person who has what you love most in the world.”
