Catching
Meara
Meara Thorton was a feisty,
world-class computer hacker—cornered by the FBI and shockingly given the chance
to be their newly acquired technical analyst.
Brilliant and intuitive, yet aching with the loss of everyone she has
cared about, her restless heart led her to discover a love she fought and a
world she didn't know could possibly exist.
Jace McKenna was an enigma,
a loner, impossibly handsome, sincere and committed. The Apache shapeshifter
blood running through his veins burned hotter than the blistering Sierra Madre
sun. Jace knew the moment he caught Meara's scent she was his for eternity.

Sweet
Sexy Sadie
Sadie didn't know what to
make of Brody. Exceptionally handsome and charismatic, he'd made her smile the
first time she saw him sauntering down the road toward her. Good lord, but he
looked as if he owned the world. Tall, tanned from the sun, amber-green eyes
that sparkled as if he saw some light humor in everything. He was wiry and
sleek; a quickness about him surprised her. His blue-black hair was tied back
with a leather thong, his chin angular.
Perhaps he did own this part
of the Sierra Madres. His family seemed to own most of this town.
Her research had brought her
to this place, Cactus Junction. Now the prospect of getting to know an
interesting man would be an added perk. In the bathroom she slipped out of her
clothes and into a tepid shower. A few minutes later she emerged squeaky clean
and ready for the next part of her adventure.
Unpacking her clothes and
taking out her laptop, she opened it. What
do explosive experts do? Hmmm....
Why, they blow up things. What would he blow up
around here?
Lord but that sounded crazy
to her. Before typing in the necessary info to pull something up on Google, she
leaned back, relaxing into her chair. The wallpaper was outdated, and the old
fan complimented the air conditioning. She realized she liked the atmosphere.
Enough musing. Mining in the Sierra Madres. Let's
see, it says here they mined silver as early as 1521.
Sadie scrolled down the
paper. Ok… Montezuma, in 1492, was already drinking hot chocolate from goblets
made of gold. Maybe she should be studying this instead of her research thesis.
The migration of butterflies. Once she'd thought the topic was romantic.
Chasing after butterflies…
So what are they doing now? Junior drilling
companies… She wondered if that was
what the McKenna Clan was, a junior company. How soon was too soon to ask?
Probably not on their first dinner together. Knowledge brought power and she
firmly believed everything happened for a reason. Then her chance encounter in
this place was not a coincidence.
This says the companies are
drilling to find the ore. So… Do they still need explosives? If not, he didn't
do much for his day job. Perhaps the family had millions stashed away. At first
glance this hotel was theirs and Brody had told her the land this town sat on
belonged to them. But millions in the Caymans? Probably not.
She closed her laptop. Then
leaning back, she shut her eyes and tried to cleanse her mind of all thought. A
little catnap might be in order, but her heartbeat so fast she didn't think
sleeping was a plausible scenario. Eager to meet the McKenna Clan and begin her
research, her body was wound tight as a rubber band ready to snap.
The bag of chips in her
purse seemed to call to her just after her stomach growled its discontent.
Trying to ignore the excessive calories and her empty belly, she rose and
wandered to the window. Dinner would be that much better if she waited.
Outside, the sun still beat down and one could see heat waves decorate the
street.
The air conditioner chose
that moment to blow out cold air. Sadie wrapped her arms around herself then
turned the monitor down a notch.
Back at the window she
looked at the street below. A man walked down the sidewalk, and as he grew
closer, he stopped and shielded his eyes then gazed up to her room. Sadie's
breath caught in the back of her throat and another chill swept through her.
This time it wasn't caused by the air conditioner. The sight of the man sent an
eerie feeling to the pit of her stomach. She stepped back in an attempt to
remove herself from his line of sight.
The knock startled her away
from the window. She jumped, afraid it might be the man she'd just seen but
knowing it wasn't.
"Sadie? Sadie, you in
there?" Brody called from outside the door. Damn, but she'd recognize his
voice anywhere. A smile crossed her face. She meant to forget the stranger.
