She hadn’t known his family, but had been honored to be his friend, colleague and someone he had trusted.
Pouring a finger of whiskey into the shot glass beside her laptop, she saluted. “To Luke!”
The liquor burned in the sweetest way. This adventure had been bittersweet, but in the end, Luke’s tenacity and determination had prompted her to remain involved and they had saved children, she knew that to her very marrow.
She would have liked to have brought Bracks to justice, but suspected he was serving it already.
As for Garin Braden, they had clashed this time around.
There was always a next time.

“IT’S DONE. I PLAYED the final move against Bracks.”
“You always did like to win.”
Prepared to protest Roux’s acerbic comment, Garin stopped himself from sounding like a prideful old bastard.
“Indeed, I like to win,” he agreed. “Annja sends her love.”
“Does she now? The two of you come to terms and play nice?”
“She did spend the night in my hotel room, so take that how you will. Good night, Roux.” He hung up, smirking. Roux would eventually decide that Garin had been baiting him, but to know he’d initially be shocked and upset thinking that Annja Creed may have spent the night with him was a win too sweet to ignore.
