“Annabelle?”

“Hush. Don’t turn around, and for once in your stubborn, hardheaded life, listen to me.”

Annabelle. It had been Annabelle in that red dress, not a porn queen. Although, had she chosen that particular career path, she would have been a star.

“Give me your Glock.”

Mark snorted. “Yeah, right.”

“They’re watching, Callahan. Don’t be an idiot.” Keeping her gun against his skin, she shifted around to his front, rubbing up against him in such a way that it would appear to casual observers that she was coming on to him. “Shooting you might be one of my favorite dreams, but I’d prefer to do it on my own terms, not Radovanovic’s. However ...”

She poked him hard with her gun. Glancing down, he saw that it wasn’t the nine-millimeter Sig she’d always favored, but a red Glock that reminded him of the pistol Matt’s wife, Torie, owned. “A girly gun? You’re using a girly gun now?”

“It was a gift to match my dress.” She slipped her hand into his jacket and lifted his weapon. “From Rad.”

Mark went stiff as a fencepost. “Holy crap, Belle. What are you involved in?”

In his ear, Matt’s voice said, “Mark? Care to share what’s going on? Is a woman holding a gun on you?”

“She’s not a woman. She’s my wife.”

Following a long pause, Matt said, “Another secret wife?”

“Yeah.” Mark sighed. “Unfortunately, this one is still alive.”

bestselling author Emily March invites readers to travel from Eternity Springs to Brazos Bend, the small hometown of the Callahan brothers snuggled deep in the heart of Texas.
 

DEA agent Luke Callahan has suffered one loss too many and a fishing trip with his brothers is just what his broken spirit needs to heal. What he doesn’t need is a gorgeous stowaway harboring secrets and running from killers. Never mind that he does his best work undercover…

Maddie Kincaid is accustomed to trouble, but she’d hoped to leave it behind when she settled in peaceful Brazos Bend. Who would have guessed that helping a gentle old man would land her in the middle of an attempted murder—her own? Now she’s running for her life—straight into the arms of the infamous Luke Callahan.
 

Lucky for her, he’s deadlier than the men chasing her. Unfortunately for him, protecting her means breaking a vow he holds dear. When the nights heat up and the secrets start to spill, Luke faces a brand new danger—losing the woman he loves. What’s a mad, bad, and lethal Callahan man gonna do?
