      The heart-stopping conclusion to Callahan Confidential

      It’s a shock to private investigator Mike Callahan to see Shayla O’Hare again, and with a child in tow—especially with shots flying her way. Protecting the pair must take priority over their tangled past. Is she being targeted for her family’s crimes—including possibly killing Mike’s father? And what will Mike do when he realizes her son…is actually his son, too?

      “I would have helped with Brodie.” The words shot out of his mouth before he could stop them.

      Shayla shifted in her seat to face him. “You accused my father and brother of being criminals, remember?”

      Mike couldn’t deny it.

      More miles passed before he spoke again. “I want to be a part of Brodie’s life.”

      Shayla let out a harsh laugh. “I’m sure you do. However, has it occurred to you that the two people you’re accusing of being criminals are Brodie’s uncle and grandfather?”

      A hard lump formed in the back of his throat, making it impossible to speak. She was right—he hadn’t considered that fact, yet he couldn’t let go of what he knew in his heart was true. Duncan and Ian were involved in his father’s murder and needed to be brought to justice.

      No matter the consequences? His resolve wavered. He couldn’t lose his son.

      “Yeah, that’s what I thought,” Shayla said in a weary tone.

      He knew he needed to tread lightly. Alienating Shayla wouldn’t help his goal of being involved in Brodie’s life.

      Dear Reader,

      Protecting His Secret Son is the sixth and last book in my Callahan Confidential series. I know you have been waiting for Mike’s story and, as you expected, I was thrilled to finally solve Max Callahan’s murder.

      I hope you enjoyed Mike and Shayla’s story. Many of you have reached out asking about Hawk’s story, so I’m hoping to write his book very soon. I love hearing from my readers. If you’re interested in contacting me or signing up for my newsletter, please visit my website at www.laurascottbooks.com. I’m also on Facebook at Laura Scott Books Author and on Twitter @laurascottbooks.

      Yours in faith,

      This book is dedicated to my son, Jonathan Iding, who has followed in my footsteps to become a registered nurse. I’m so proud of you!
