Keep reading for an excerpt from his book, Shiloh, Book #7 in the Texas Boudreau Brotherhood. Available at all major e-book and print book stores.

Shiloh Boudreau stood close to the bar, nursing his bottle of water, and wishing he’d opted for a beer instead. Couldn’t do that, though, because he was working. He scanned the crowd again, looking for his mark. Earlier he’d spotted the woman he sought easing through a door leading backstage. When he’d tried to follow, one of the club’s security guards stopped him in his tracks.

So here he was, forced to cool his jets at the bar, waiting for her to reappear. Would she? The itch on the back of his neck, the one he got when something was about to happen, had the little hairs standing at attention. Acting on a hunch, because that’s all it was, he slid the half-empty bottle onto the bar and headed for the exit. The minute he was through the front door, he sprinted toward the alley.

He watched the city bus pull away from the curb, saw her shining auburn hair highlighted in the interior lights, as she took a seat toward the back. Too little, too late again. He’d missed her by mere seconds. Somehow, some way, she managed to stay two steps ahead of him. If he didn’t know better, he’d swear somebody tipped her off whenever he got close.

Too bad she didn’t know who she was messing with. He was a Boudreau and they didn’t know the meaning of giving up. If she thought he’d simply turn tail and head back to Texas, she’d didn’t have a clue. This case wasn’t about a paycheck. It was a family quest, and he’d promised his brother, Lucas, he’d find Renee. Long-lost sister, separated from Lucas when they were youngsters, and put into the foster care system.

Lucas had been one of the lucky ones. He’d been placed at the Big House with the Boudreau clan. Renee simply disappeared into the foster care system, and all records pertaining to her were mysteriously lost.

He flinched when she gave him a jaunty wave as the bus pulled away. No way could he manage getting back to his car and catch up to the rapidly departing bus. Parking had been a bear, and he ended up finding a spot several blocks away from the club. Some P.I. he was, he hadn’t even gotten the number off the bus to see what areas it covered.

Giving a heavy sigh, he started back for his car. Might as well head back to his hotel room, and get a good night’s sleep, and start over in the morning. Renee O’Malley might be slicker than a greased piglet, but she’d find out soon enough she was dealing with a Boudreau. Giving up wasn’t in his vocabulary, and he tended toward being tenacious as a bloodhound once he scented his prey.
