Levi stood beside him. “You’re next.”
“That’s guaranteed to make me run,” Vince said. “This is freaking scary stuff.”
“No,” Levi said. “It’s the best thing that can happen to any of us. When it’s your turn, you’ll know it.”
“Nah,” Vince said. “Everybody around me has all the good women. There aren’t any left, I’m sure. Knowing me, I’ll end up with some kind of a cat or a bitch, and I mean that in the nicest canine way.”
Levi chuckled. “No, but I can see what you need is somebody with a bit of spirit, somebody to help you smile and laugh.”
“Oh, no, no,” he said. “No matchmaking.”
“No matchmaking required,” Levi said. “I’m pretty sure the next job with your name on it is where you’ll find the perfect woman.”
“Hell no. And, if her name starts with a V, I’m outta there. No Victorias are allowed in my world or Valeries or anyone else at that end of the alphabet.”
Levi burst into great big guffaws of laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Vince asked suspiciously.
“I know exactly who it’ll be. Vince’s Vixen.” And then he went off in wails of laughter again.
Vince just stared at him. “Oh, hell no,” he said. The last thing he wanted was somebody who would argue all the time. He wanted spirit, yes, but he sure as hell didn’t want too much of it.
Yet he had a sad feeling that, for all his arguments, it was just too damn bad for him because Levi had already forecasted Vince’s future. Whether Vince liked it or not.
This concludes Book 18 of Heroes for Hire: Dezi’s Diamond.

Heroes for Hire: Vince’s Vixen (Book #19)
Running away can often lead to the same thing you were trying to leave behind …
Vince is not on board with the wave of romance happening at Legendary Security and so is happy to escape all that, but he soon finds himself aboard a research vessel off the coast of the Galapagos Islands, dealing with his own tide of emotions.
Vanessa loves her research trips. This latest one is finally coming to a successful conclusion, as she completes their data collection, when their vessel is boarded by pirates. She’s knocked unconscious and moved to an old sinking tub and left adrift in the ocean. She wakes to find the only other female member of the team is missing …
Worried, the team returns to shore, trying to sort out what happened. Vanessa insists on tracking her missing team member, even as the others vote to return home. Vanessa refuses. She’ll help or die trying. Vince can stay with her or go with the others—his choice—but no way is Vanessa’s lost researcher being left behind.
And, one by one, the other members of the team go missing too …
