Six weeks after
the biggest case of her life, Sgt. MacKenzie “Mack” McCallister receives
information that changes her future. With the man she loves on the opposite
side of the country, Mack isn’t sure she can do it on her own.
Special Agent
Andrew Cooper is dealing with the hardest thing he has ever had to face, and in
order to do it, he must shelve his feelings for Mack and pray that she will be
there when he returns.
As time passes,
Mack focuses her attention on the serial killer investigation and forces
thoughts of Drew out of her mind. When emotions are running high, Drew returns,
and everything in Mack’s world is turned upside down.
It will fall to
Drew to figure out the missing pieces of the serial murder investigation, but
will he be able to do it before he loses Mack forever?
I was about
halfway down the hallway when Mack walked out of the unit door with someone and
turned the other way. She was with Chris Carley, and he jerked her arm to a stop
and towered over her.
“You’re not
going,” he stated firmly.
“Get the hell
out of my way, Chris. This has nothing to do with you. That is one of our guys
out there that was shot, and I’m going out to the scene.”
“Mack, babe, do
we know if the shooter has been caught? I don’t want you out there if he
hasn’t.”
I came to a stop
ten feet away when I heard him call her babe.
“I don’t care,
Chris. I’m going, now get the hell out of my way.”
Chris grabbed
her face and held her still, and my heart skipped a beat. “Mack, the doctor
told you last week you needed to slow down. Honey, you shouldn’t be going out
there. This isn’t good for you.”
Honey? What the
hell was I witnessing? And what was wrong with Mack that she needed to be under
medical care?
“Chris, I get
it,” her voice lowered, “but I have to be out there.”
“You’re not
going,” he repeated firmly.
“Listen, Chris,
you are not my husband or my boss, so get the hell out of my way.” She tried to
sidestep him, but he held her firm.
“Mack, please,
stay here. I can’t afford to have you get hurt. Think about this, please.”
He leaned his
forehead down on hers as my heart stopped in my chest. What the hell did he
just say?
“Chris,” she pulled
back and touched his face in an intimate way, “I get it that you’re concerned,
but I have to go. It’s my job. If it was one of your guys, nothing would stop
you. I’ll be careful, I promise.”
“Fine, but I’m
going with you.” He leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips the moment before
Jose rushed out the door and almost knocked into them. He spun around to avoid
them and saw me, his jaw dropping in shock.
“Drew! What the
hell are you doing here?” Jose called out, and Chris’s eyes flipped up over Mack’s
head and slammed into mine. A look of pure shock crossed his face as he took me
in. Mack spun away from Chris to face me and that was when the wrecking ball
slammed into my chest; all I could see was her very large stomach.
“What the hell?”
The words slipped through my suddenly-dry lips.
