    KC Freeman

    After leaving the corporate world to raise her five rambunctious children with her husband in North Carolina, KC Freeman eventually found her way back to her lifelong desire to write fiction filled with supernatural creatures, especially angels--her favorite.   Prior to Rekindled Prophecy: Greylyn the Guardian Angel Series Book 1, she contributed a paranormal romance short story to the Autumn/Winter 2017 anthology The Bowman’s Inn. Another paranormal romance short story where readers can be introduced to an upcoming character in the Greylyn saga can be found in the After Dark: 9 Modern Takes on Classic Fairy Tales anthology. Another guardian angel finally gets his own story in Renegade Angel, to be included with the Realm of Darkness boxset to be released October 2022.   When she is not writing, KC is running her children to practices, football games, swim meets, wrestling tournaments, and generally all over town. In her spare time … who are we kidding? She does not have any of that.

      Dedication

      To my loving husband who always gives me fresh inspiration for fun, romantic stories.

      Chapter 1

      Hand trembling as the mouse hovered over the Confirm button, Rob’s mind raced with doubts. Would he be caught? What kind of jail sentence would he get for stealing money from a big-wig politician’s phony charity and redistributing the wealth to those more deserving? How about leaking the senator’s dirty scams with full cooperation from the largest and most successful government contractor, Nottingham, Inc.? He seriously doubted he’d be granted whistleblower protection.

      Caught? Nah! Impossible. He was the best at his job, hacking his way through every top-notch security website around the globe. Albeit, mostly with pure intentions. He was an ethical hacker after all. An extremely well-paid one, too. There wasn’t a classified program anywhere he couldn’t break into without a trace. That was why the Federal government contractor he worked for had him on lockdown most days with his own private building and his own private office. They even chipped in for a company car when he’d pushed back at his last contract extension. Rob hadn’t bothered to tell them that he didn’t drive cars – motorcycles, yes – cars, no. His contract even paid for the car to remain parked in a secured lot with 24/7 surveillance.

      Suckers!

      So, why the need to steal from one of the main persons responsible for his nice, hefty contract?

      Because Rob just couldn’t let the sons-of-bitches get away with siphoning money appropriated by the government for needy families for a senator’s own less-charitable pet projects? Real people were in dire need and that asshole was living the high life on the money meant to ease their sufferings.

      No, he wasn’t that noble.

      This started as simple revenge. It was the sole reason he took the job at Nottingham. Bring down the company, and all its accomplices, seemed a fitting retribution for the extinction of his entire family.

      But nothing is ever simple, especially when it comes to revenge.

      Rob hadn’t even known about the senator’s involvement, or his current underhanded schemes. He’d discovered the senator’s shenanigans by accident while tracing a string of financial transactions from the source (United States Treasury) through the Senate appropriations process to the final recipient. When the funds didn’t appear where they should have been, he hacked a few dark sites to discover what became of the monies. He’d suspected the system had been hacked by a foreign entity. That was usually the case. But the more he followed the breadcrumbs, the clearer it became. All trails led straight back to Senator Johnson’s personal overseas accounts. The IRS would never have been able to follow this audit trail, but no information system was too complex for Rob Holden.

      Knowing his own boss was neck-deep in the corruption sealed his decision. The money had been appropriated for a contract with Nottingham to help in refugee resettlements in the Middle East. Instead, half of the funds ended up the senator’s accounts. Less than 10% had gone towards the actual work mandate.

      As Rob saw it, stealing from the sleazy crooked elite and giving to those truly in need would serve society the best. With a little sleight of hand, and just like a magician, the funds from the latest transfer to the senator were re-routed to another organization working on the same relief efforts.  

      Okay, for a second he’d contemplated keeping the money for himself, but he wasn’t that type of guy. Besides, he was an ethical hacker, he had a personal set of standards and stealing for himself wasn’t in his DNA.

      What better than a little bit of revenge for his family, as well as for the downtrodden
