DEDICATION

To my boy, who puts up with my pickiness while trying to draw my covers. No matter what you choose to do in this life, know that I will always love you.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

My son has such an artistic talent. He works hard to make what I envision for my books, and some he designs on his own. My kids have both been great and understanding when mom goes down the rabbit hole with a book. Every time they see me at the computer, they just roll their eyes. And they aren’t even teenagers yet!

Out of all my books, I think I spent the most time brainstorming this one. I wanted to get Mitch’s story just right, and make sure I give the end to this portion of the Cooper’s story the justice it deserves. My friend Beth reads all my books, she’s always the first to buy them (my biggest supporter) and has been a great sounding board for where I should go with this. When the story finally started falling into place, I had to cut her off. Instead of brainstorming, I’ve been teasing! It’s been fun. Thank you for all you do for me, Beth! Not sure I would have ever been brave enough to do any of this without you. You’re my rock!

Summary

I never wanted to get married. My mother left me alone with an abusive father, I didn't know why she didn't take me with her. I never wanted to risk a woman leaving me again. Then three years ago I met a woman, one I was instantly attracted to. She showed signs of having a fighter spirit. Problem was, I was interviewing her for a teaching position at our school. I backed off. My best friend, the man who was like a brother to me took one look at her... and called dibs. Prick. He was not one to date or mess around, so I backed off. I didn't want a relationship anyway. I watched as she turned out to be a spy, and his soul mate. I sat back and watched each of my brothers pair off. I knew I never wanted that to happen to me, because the only woman I ever entertained the idea of more with, was now my sister. Her weaknesses were enough for me to realize my plans were the right ones. That is, until I met my Avenging Angel. The tiniest and most dangerous woman you would ever meet. She was on a mission, a mission to avenge the death of her sister. Her target - the person who had called a war on our family. The person who was attacking my family when we should have been safe. The person who was now targeting our school.
