A former Special Forces soldier, Rick
Dreyer is a surveillance expert able to recognize trouble in any
guise. His simple observation assignment turns inside out when his
target is suddenly attacked. With threats closing in and no one to
trust, Rick vows to save her. But will he lose his heart in the
process?
Excerpt from The Witness
The blaze reached toward the night sky,
leaping away from firefighters and warring with the billowing smoke
trying to blot out the stars. It was mesmerizing, might even have
been beautiful, if the end result wasn’t so devastating.
Rick Dreyer had better things to look
for. His boss would ask if this fire was tied to the case he was
working and the woman under his surveillance or simply a lousy
coincidence.
It was a sucker bet and a Murphy’s
Law kind of moment, but he was too jaded to assume coincidence.
Using the cover of displaced residents
and gawking bystanders, he skirted the crowd to keep his target in
sight. The target, a gorgeous brunette, was the only perk of this
assignment. Her hourglass figure and sleek, long hair would tempt any
breathing man. But there was something in her eyes, a wariness he
caught whenever he zoomed in with the camera lens or binoculars. It
made him wonder what put it there.
He didn’t care for the feeling.
Wondering, experiencing genuine concern about a target wasn’t in
his repertoire anymore. He worked his cases straight forward and knew
the boss valued his ability to remain neutral.
As far as the current case went, Nicole
Livingston wasn’t a threat to the client. Being displaced by a fire
just weeks before Thanksgiving didn’t constitute immediate danger.
Pulling out his phone, he sent a cursory alert to the office until he
could file the full report.
Relieved he could leave Virginia as
soon as he finished the verification appointment slated for the
morning, he knew it was time to walk away.
He moved closer.
