ASSIGNMENT: BLACKMAIL
Stephanie Gage’s father has been kidnapped—by a dangerous man who wants to make a trade. Her beloved dad for a multimillion-dollar family heirloom that’s gone missing. Either Stephanie finds the valuable violin or her father dies. But to track it down, she must rely on Tate Fuego—the man who broke her heart years ago. Stephanie knows that Tate’s reasons for helping have nothing to do with her. And that the handsome demolitions expert knows more about destroying things than saving lives. But trusting Tate is all that stands between Stephanie and a madman’s ultimate revenge.
“Tell me what’s going on,” Tate demanded.
Stephanie didn’t look at him. “Bittman wants something from me.” She turned her face to his, and he saw for the first time the gleam of tears there.“He drove my brother off the road and took Dad.”
“I’m sorry.” For one crazy moment, he wanted to wrap her up in an embrace. “How does it fit together? What is Bittman after?”
“I can’t tell you any more.”
He folded his arms. “I want to know what’s going on, and you’re going to tell me.”
Her eyes glittered. “I wasn’t supposed to get anyone involved, or he’ll kill my father.”
“Too late. I’m involved.”
Her eyes grew cold. “No you’re not, Tate,” she said as she pushed by him, leaving a tantalizing whiff of the cinnamon fragrance she always wore.
Why, he wondered, could he pass through his day without remembering so much as what he had for lunch—but he could recall every detail of Stephanie’s face after seeing her for only a few moments in the past four years?

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
—Philippians 3:13–14
To my dear friend Patsy in Waxahachie.
You are an encouragement and a blessing to me.
