Brooke
(The Metcalfes #4)
By Ronie Kendig
Clean with faith elements, Romantic Suspense
Paperback & eBook, 271 Pages
February 6, 2023 by Task Force Press
Summary
Prioritizing career over family cost Brooke Metcalfe Mulroney everything—her relationship with her siblings, her marriage, her children. Written off by her family, she delves deeper into her work. Until a life-altering moment offers a chance at something she didn’t know she wanted—redemption. But her self-centered ways nip at her heels as she goes on the lam to do what she knows is right.
Former Special Forces operator and founder of MiLE, Cord Taggart wages war on human trafficking by taking the violence to the wicked, determined to never again let an innocent die because he did nothing. But maybe he’s bitten off more than he can chew this time as he works to track down New York City high-powered attorney Brooke Metcalfe, who is MIA. Then there’s her brothers who have threatened to chase him into the afterlife should he fail.
Tricky are the hours as Cord negotiates many battles: freeing the captives, demolishing the Trench that has made millions off the skin-trade industry, and his growing, deep-rooted feelings for the bombshell in her highfalutin tower. Brooke must put her life—and heart—in the hands of the thick-skulled operator.
Excerpt
“[Do] you know what happened, how you were injured?” the nurse asked.
“I …” She swallowed, remembering how close she’d come to getting caught. “A-a car. I was hit by a car. There …” Telling them she was being chased would only draw authorities, and she’d already tried that once. “I guess … I just wasn’t paying attention.”
“We will get X-rays.” The nurse tapped into a device as she noted the vitals—and that’s when Brooke noticed her name badge read Min in Mandarin.
To thwart the pain in her back, Brooke shifted—pain exploded through her side. Crying out, she stiffened.
“But first something for the pain,” the nurse said in faltering English. “Is there someone you want us to contact?”
“I—” Cradling her side and screwing up her face bought her a moment to think. Mark and the girls weren’t talking to her.
Her brothers …
“You absolutely cannot tell them.” Mazin’s voice reverberated across her conscience.
“No …” She had no one to help her. Not anymore. Yet a pair of steel gray eyes argued with that. Pleaded with her to call him, much like the dozen voicemails. “No. I’m alone.” She had endangered the kids and her relationship with Mazin, so bringing Cord Taggart into it would only make things worse.
