ADVENTURE. DANGER. EXCITEMENT.

PAVAD Internal Affairs Supervisor Kyra Dillon has had enough adventure in her life lately--and has the bullet scar on her temple to prove it. But she'd go through all that hell again if it meant never returning to her hometown--Value, Texas. Population 897.

Agent Camden Lake, with PAVAD's Runaway & Endangered Youth unit, is used to going non-stop from one case to another. Danger and adventure are all that keep him from remembering the little sister he couldn't keep safe years ago.

His sister is Barratt County, Texas's only open missing child case to this day. Cam had spent most of the twenty years since her disappearance protecting those who needed him.

It is why he'd joined the FBI in the first place. Why he's taken the PAVAD assignment and left his Texas home behind.

Back in town for an FBI conference, Cam had every intention of relaxing for a while, and visiting with his family for a few days in Barrattville.

SHE NEEDS HIM NOW.

Until colleague Kyra Dillon sent up a distress signal. From Value. Only fifty miles away.

Cam is a natural born protector; and Kyra needs protecting. It is as simple as that for him. Something about the woman's quiet confidence and manner gets under Cam's skin quick. Now there isn't anything he won't do to keep her safe. Even if it means taking Kyra and running from killers on her heels.

They'll keep running, until they know just what little Value, Texas is HIDING.
