Hampshire, England, 2006: I should've known not to visit Nigel Steadman, trouble followed him closer than his shadow. But I'd finally made it all the way to Dublin, and it seemed a shame not to hop across the Irish Sea to see my old friend. Besides, he'd always said for me to come stay with him in London.It wasn't till I called from Dublin that I learned he'd moved to the New Forest in the south of England. Goodbye London before I ever met you-and hello heartache. That's where Nigel roped me into doing some undercover work checking out the Ownbey gang he was trying to trick into telling the truth. But as you can imagine, things didn't go the way we'd planned. Gunslingers, kidnappers, and thieves highjacked my vacation and turned it into a nightmare.So here I am in a makeshift jail, and it feels like I'll never see Fiona and the boys again. And if the bad guys have their way, I won't! Even when my best friend Della Kincaid flies over to help, she can't do much. I'm in so deep, she doesn't know where to look for me.
