The Watchers Book 1

by Petie McCarty

Genre: Paranormal Small-Town Romantic Suspense

The Watchers Series—

Fallen angels cast out of heaven by the archangel Michael for coercing with Satan to gain control. Some of these turncoats—duped late in the game by Satan's lies—doubled back to seek redemption for their unwitting betrayal.  Offered parole in exchange for penance, these Watchers are given the toughest bodyguard missions with little leeway for success.
One last chance.
These are their stories . . .
 

Someone—or something—wants Kellen out of town . . .
 
 Kellen Brand's inheritance comes as a monumental shock—a rundown farm she doesn't want and one paroled Watcher all her own. Kellen's eccentric mother believed Watchers to be fallen angels seeking penance by guarding individuals who had lost their way. Seriously? A Watcher?
Only her mother  . . . 
 
Since Kellen vows no sane woman would choose to live in Riverside, she's on a mission to dump the old farm fast and to the first buyer who comes along. Unfortunately for her, the only buyer is a resort developer, spurned by a townful of objectors and one handsome cowboy—her neighbor, Luke Thornton. Luke must block Kellen's farm sale or risk exposure of his own family's secrets. He can ill afford his immediate and compelling attraction to his new neighbor.
 
Someone is watching Kellen, but not who she thinks. Someone deadly and intent on scaring her out of town. Or worse. Luke has a hellish choice to make—step in and rescue Kellen from her threats, or to protect his family, stand by and watch . . .

SYNOPSIS:

A sleepy little town, Aspen Ridge, nestled in the Colorado Rockies, is experiencing major growing pains. As is Candle's adorable pup. 

Former CIA agent Candle Bearclaw’s new security firm, Terrabyte, is expanding by leaps and bounds. When her best friend’s husband, a high-profile software entrepreneur, comes up missing, Candle and her husband, Miacoh, also the new chief of police, find themselves knee-deep in international intrigue. 

The same day, an indigenous woman, Molly Reacher, pleads for Candle to take her convoluted case with identity theft overtones. Come to find out, Molly’s friend, a Native American woman, is also missing. 

Cayson, an employee of Terrabyte Security, is assigned to protect Molly as the company works through the intricacies of her cases. 

Law enforcement are supposed to be all over both missing person cases until Miacoh discovers the indigenous woman’s case is nearly invisible. Will either be found alive?

ENJOY AN EXCERPT:

The door banged open and Gabby rushed inside, wind scattering the papers again. Terra jumped up and barked, circling Gabby. This time Miacoh scooped up the papers, put them on Candle’s desk, and plopped a procedural manual on top, winking at his wife. 

Gabby paced the floor between Candle’s desk and her own flinging her arms in the air as she talked. 

Gabby couldn’t talk if you tied her hands down. Candle’s smile faded as she became aware something was terribly wrong. 

“Ben is missing. There’s no one to run his office since he and his ex-partner, Ken, parted ways over a major disagreement. I dropped Natalya and Nash off at school and checked the office to see if he returned early, but no. He’s missing,” she wailed. “What am I going to do?” 

“Whoa, slow down, Gabby. How do you know Ben’s missing?” Candle jumped up from her chair to catch her best friend mid-stride. 

Tears rolled down Gabby’s cheeks. “He caught a red-eye last night to Las Vegas to tie up loose ends from Ken’s unauthorized dealings. Ben never arrived in Las Vegas. Airport security showed him boarding the plane, but he didn’t get off the plane in Vegas. If he’d had a change in plans, he’d have called me. I haven’t heard a thing from him.” 

Miacoh stood and offered his chair to Gabby. She plopped down in the seat and began to sob. 

“Gabby, we are going to need your husband’s calendar, itinerary, flight number, and hotel reservation. I’ll have Cayson start tracking down his movements.” 

“Did I hear my name?” Cayson, a tall Aussie with the high cheekbones of a Norse god and shaggy blond hair of a Swede swaggered into the office. His cocky smile faded as he surveyed the faces in the room. “What’s wrong?”

REVIEW:

5 stars!

Suspense and passion done right! 

Terrabyte Security is the second book in Tena Stetler’s suspenseful and passion-filled Mountain Town Mysteries series, and cases involving returning characters and new ones combine for an intriguing return to the small town of Aspen Ridge. With business booming and romance blossoming, I was hooked by the latest cases and enjoyed the story from start to finish.

 

While Candle Bearclaw and her new husband, Miacoh, are the main protagonists of the series, this new adventure focuses on their friend, employee, and confirmed bachelor, Cayson Eriksson. However, Molly Malone Reacher, a new client and the apparent victim of identity theft and a stalker, might just be the woman to change Cayson’s personal status. Although they experience an immediate attraction to each other, both resist following through initially, but they realize quickly that there’s something special between them. The resulting passion is a scorcher.

 

I was absorbed by the intricate plot, which presents multiple mysteries to unravel. One of these mysteries involves Ben Alrich, the husband of Candle’s best friend, Gabby. The tension surrounding his disappearance was particularly intense, and Gabby’s distress was truly heart-wrenching. New client Molly’s situation is complex, with a couple of theories to pursue as to who is behind her troubles. One such theory involves the thesis she was working on for her degree, and, if the statistics about missing Indigenous women cited in the story are correct, they are absolutely shocking. This complexity and suspense will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

 

Between the compelling plot and slow-burn romance, I couldn’t put this book down. I recommend TERRABYTE SECURITY to readers of adult romantic suspense.
