Altercation (Playmaker Duet #1; Prescott Family #4; Love In All Places #6)

by Mignon Mykel

  Dad was silent. He didn’t want to tell me over the phone. What the hell happened that he couldn’t say over the phone? What was going on?

  My heart began to race.

  Where were they? What happened?

  “They were taken.”

  Did you enjoy the beginning of Porter & Asher’s story?

  One Year After Loss, Prescott Family Hit Again

  It’s only been one year since Enforcers’ power forward, Caleb Prescott, son of Noah Prescott, lost his three-year-old daughter to childhood cancer.

  While Prescott and his brother, Jonny Prescott, goaltender for the Enforcers, had a powerful season, the loss was evident in their playing styles.

  One week ago, the Prescott family was hit again when daughter of Noah and Ryleigh Prescott, sports agent Avery Prescott, and the fiancée of Porter Prescott, forward for the Charleston Rockets, were taken in broad daylight.

  Video surveillance shows a baseball capped man ushering Avery and Asher Spence into an unmarked truck. Allegedly a ransom was not set and per outside media outlets, the abductor was the former foster father of Spence.

  James Johnson, of Tennessee, was shot by police last night and later died at Beloit General Hospital. According to Tennessee Times, Johnson was under investigation for rape of a minor. Johnson’s stepdaughter, now nineteen, accused Johnson of rape less than three months ago. Johnson wasn’t to leave the state of Tennessee as the hearing was pending. Upon further investigation by Milwaukee media outlets, Johnson was brought in on rape charges five years ago, by the Children’s Bureau of Tennessee.

  Avery Prescott and Asher Spence were admitted to a local hospital. Both are now home.

  Spence and Porter Prescott were due to be married last Saturday. The Prescott Family has refused comment at this time.

  This book…

  My goodness, this book.

  A story that was not supposed to be much longer than Interference, turned out to be nearly double the size (and therefore, became a duet). Hey, now…it almost became a trilogy, if it weren’t for the talking down from two of my major team players.

  So, my first thanks will have to go to Jenn and Melissa. You two ladies talk me off of many ledges, especially the frantic ones that Porter placed me on in the process of writing his story.

  Secondly, to my early readers. Paige and Brianna, your cheerleading and thoughts along the way helped make this book what it is. Aurora, Jill, and Lindsey…you three are phenomenal cheerleaders. I love your excitement when it comes to my stories.

  Then of course, most importantly, to YOU. Whether this was your first Mignon Mykel book, or your ninth, thank you for allowing me to chase my dreams. Without you, I would still be writing for me. Or heck, maybe not writing at all.

  I’m sorry that I split this story up into two separate parts. I do hope you will forgive me, as the second part releases shortly after.

  Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
