A NAVAJO UNDERCOVER AGENT COMES TO THE RESCUE OF AN INNOCENT VICTIM IN ANOTHER COPPER CANYON MYSTERY BY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR AIMÉE THURLO.
Erin Barrett was the sole survivor of an armed assault on her company. Her saving grace? Undercover agent Kyle Goodluck, who’d grown from troubled youth to total warrior. Though he agreed to protect Erin, he still had unanswered questions. Starting with how much she could be trusted. But only Erin knew what these terrorists wanted—and were willing to kill for. Kyle just had to gauge how forthcoming she was going to be about it. Standing their ground as New Mexico heated up with cross fire, Kyle wouldn’t settle for anything less than absolute victory. And with Erin as his spirit guide, he wouldn’t have to settle for anything anymore….
“From this point on, expect the unexpected. That’s how you’ll stay alive.”
His bluntness made a chill run up her spine.
Agent Goodluck stood straight, shoulders thrown back—a warrior’s stance. The black leather jacket enhanced his powerful build. Everything about him spoke of unwavering self-assurance.
The full impact of what had happened slammed into her again. Men she’d never seen before had tried to kill her. One of the gunmen had actually died less than ten feet from her. What was worse, she might still be a target.
Tremors ripped through her and she folded her arms around her middle, as if trying to hug herself.
A heartbeat later, Kyle threw his black leather jacket over her shoulders.
“No, I’m okay,” she managed.
“You’re holding it together, but that’s not the same as okay,” he said, his voice gentle.
Maybe not, but she couldn’t show him how badly she wanted him to wrap his powerful arms around her and never let go.

CAST OF CHARACTERS
Kyle Goodluck—His last assignment for NCIS ended in tragedy. Now he was at home, working undercover, on the trail of terrorists. His chief suspect was dead, and the only witness, Erin Barrett, was under his protection. Erin was temptation itself, dangerous to be around—no matter where her loyalties lay.
Erin Barrett—Her boss, Hank Leland, was killed right before her eyes, but she’d been rescued just in time by the rugged Navajo man who insisted he was with the IRS. All she wanted in life was to raise enough money to buy her own farm. Now her life was a nightmare, and her only hope rested with a man she couldn’t trust. Kyle was destined to break her heart...if they lived long enough.
Preston Bowman—He was a Hartley detective, and Kyle was his foster brother. Together they had to learn why Hank Leland had been killed, and what his connection was to a terrorist cell planning an imminent attack. Who were Hank’s contacts, and why were they so interested in Erin Barrett?
Bruce Leland—Even Hank, his brother, couldn’t trust him, and after Hank was killed, Bruce was caught breaking into his home. Bruce was clearly a man with a gambling addiction, but was he also a traitor?
Frieda Martinez—Hank’s flashy girlfriend easily attracted men, first Bruce, then his brother. Yet the moment he was killed she dropped out of sight. Now the search was on for the woman who held the key to murder...and maybe more.
Ed Huff—He was the bartender at the Quarter Horse Bar where Frieda worked as a waitress. He knew she was trouble from the start. The woman had secrets, but Ed knew how to use those to his own advantage. Just how far he could push her was anyone’s guess.
Joe Pacheco—Joe was a retired police officer well known in the community. Now he worked for Secure Construction, Hank’s company. When Hank was killed, Joe became a target. He needed help, but Joe didn’t trust the Feds, NCIS included.
Ron Mora—The paralegal worked for Moe Jenner, Hank’s attorney. When the well-known lawyer disappeared, Ron refused to help them find his boss. Either Ron was covering for Jenner, or something illegal was going on.
