      She’ll risk everything to uncover her past

      The first thrilling Covert Operatives tale

      An infant is believed to have been murdered thirty years ago—but investigative journalist Dana Lang is convinced she’s that baby. Now someone’s willing to kill to stop her investigation. And only secretive deputy Quinn Dawson, whose grandfather may have faked Dana’s death to protect her, can keep her safe. But a killer’s dead set on burying the past—and them—for good.

      VIRGINIA VAUGHAN is a born-and-raised Mississippi girl. She is blessed to come from a large Southern family, and her fondest memories include listening to stories recounted around the dinner table. She was a lover of books from a young age, devouring tales of romance, danger and love. She soon started writing them herself. You can connect with Virginia through her website, virginiavaughanonline.com, or through the publisher.

      “Get down!” Quinn hollered as a shot rang out, hitting the back of his truck’s bed.

      He grabbed hold of Dana and pushed her to the seat.

      “Who are they?” she shouted.

      Gripping the steering wheel, Quinn kicked in to survival mode, swerving on the road to make them more difficult to hit. He glanced out the mirror at the pursuing car and saw both the driver and passenger were wearing masks. “I wish I knew.”

      Another shot sounded, this one shattering the back window. Dana covered her head with her hands as she crouched by the seat as best she could.

      A third shot hit the tire. Quinn heard the pop of the rubber blow, then the truck veered sharply to the right, sending them spinning. He turned into the spin, doing his best to right the vehicle, but the truck was going too fast.

      “Hang on,” he managed to shout before the truck smashed into the guardrail and tilted into the air. His seat belt locked as he was thrown forward, and he heard Dana scream as the truck plummeted down the embankment, rolling with each sickening second.

      Dear Reader,

      Is there anything more fun than finding a new series to delve into? It’s the same for writers!

      I’m so thankful to have the opportunity to start this new series, Covert Operatives, with Quinn and Dana’s story. These were two such independent characters that at times they were difficult for even me to understand. But they both needed the same thing we all do—love and family. Coming from a rather large family myself, I sometimes wish I had the freedom to pick up and go and do my own thing without having to worry about family obligations, but when I delve into a story like this one and remember there are so many people out there like Dana—possibly even some of my readers—who are searching for the very thing I often take for granted, I’m humbled and thankful.

      I hope you enjoyed this story and will continue with me on this journey into this new series.

      I love hearing from my readers! You can connect with me online through my website virginiavaughanonline.com and at Facebook.com/ginvaughanbooks.

      Sincerely,

       Virginia Vaughan
