Book 2
Border Patrol agent Eli Carmichael knew the deaf child he'd found outside a Mexican orphanage was harboring a dark secret-she was carrying a bloodstained knife and was clearly traumatized.
To keep her safe, he turned to trusted neighbor Isabel Valenzuela. A sense of duty had kept Eli close to his fellow agent's widow and her young son over the past year, and now Eli was spending more time with Isabel and the kids, trying to determine exactly what the girl had seen.
Under Isabel's gentle care, the child began to open up. But the killers were close by, and determined to silence the girl forever....
Book 3
To make up for her sordid teen years, Bernadette Malone has spent her adult life in service to God.
But her past has finally caught up with her: three young women-friends from her former life-had taken the truth about that past to their premature graves, and Bernadette was next on the hit list. Border patrol agent Owen Carmichael knew all about the dark side of life.
And he couldn't turn down his friend when she came to him for help. Owen would protect Bernadette with his life. But her powerful enemy was prepared to kill again to prevent the revelation of his scandalous actions.
