MIKE

Mike Redhawk is thrilled to be with his family, needing a little quiet time after serving as a Delta Operative. Like his twin brother, twin cousins, father, uncle, and grandfather, Mike is a warrior. Mardi Gras at Belle Fleur is almost as big as Christmas. The ball is always the party of the year. He hates it. Nothing about dressing up is appealing to him. Promising his brother that he'll make an appearance, dance a few dances, he never expects that the woman he practically trips over, is the one that will steal his heart. The problem is, she's been thrust into one of the teams strangest cases to date. Diamonds, weapons, and the Chinese mafia are chasing her. It's up to Mike to keep her alive and make her his.

Sage Marshall is trying to do the right thing, but it seems the universe is against her at every turn. Parents who were thieves, employees involved in illegal diamonds, and then finding out that the one person she trusted, her granny, deceived her as well. It's all more than a woman can handle by herself. Seeking help at a Mardi Gras ball might seem strange to most, but when the most unusual elderly woman you've ever met tells you to come and find her, you have to do it.
