    About this ebook

    Jakob Mac Cloud, youngest of the Mac Cloud brothers, loves to go undercover, ferret out targets and get to the truth, but had never thought, he would ever become a mark himself.

    Jake has seen his brothers find happiness with the women in their lives. The walls he'd built, ripped down when Officer Catia Andres, was shot in the field, making him feel again and see what a future for them could be.

    Catia Andres, a special undercover investigator, brought in to target the Mac Cloud's, their unit and the station house from an investigation started out of jealousy and hate.

    Caught between duty and desire, Catia works to clear them before her secret is out, hoping Jake will want to continue their budding relationship once he learns who she really is.

      CHAPTER 1

      JAKE LET THE CLUTCH OUT

      and sat back enjoying the morning ride into the station. The weather was perfect. He did as he was trained, always took a different way in, until he hit this part of the highway. If he didn’t take it, he wouldn’t be able to get to work for almost two hours. Sighing, he turned his head when a black bike came up beside him and smiled. The rider, a female, had been flirting with him for a couple of months. He didn’t know who she was; her helmet hid that fact from him. Grinning, he sat a bit straighter as she took off down the highway and hit the clutch and gas to catch up with her. She’d slow down, go behind him, speed back up. After riding side by side for several miles, she blew him an imaginary kiss, by touching her fingers to where her mouth would be under the tinted face cover of her helmet before taking off as she did every time. He knew he couldn’t catch her; he tried that the first week she’d shown up. She rode a bee, or that’s what he called them, a sports bike, and if you got enough of them together, they sounded like a hive.

      Jake frowned, feet braced apart, arms crossed over his chest. Who in the hell did this bike belong to? It had never been parked in the garage before, at least not that he had seen. Walking around the 2017 Suzuki GW250, he knew they had to be a cop and a female at that. Every morning for the past two months, this bike and its driver would mess with him on his way into the station.

      What are you doing, shopping for a new look? Gabe asked, as Jake strolled in.

      It’s this bike, man. This is the one I’ve been telling you about, the one that fucks with me every morning.

      Jake turned at Gabe’s chuckle. What’s so funny?

      You moron and the fact you can’t figure out who rides it. Gabe slapped him on the shoulder as he took off for the stairs. Let’s go, Columbo. We’ve got work to do.

      Jake flung one last scowl at the terrorizer before following his brother. If you know who it is why won’t you tell me?

      You’re a detective, figure it out.

      ~~*~~

      What in the hell is wrong with you? Zack asked.

      That friggin’ bike. I can’t figure out who in the hell rides it. No one at the station will give the person up, and frankly, it’s frustrating the hell out of me.

      Would that be sexual frustration? Mitch chuckled.

      Fuck you. Jake lifted the beer to his mouth as they both chuckled. If he were honest with himself, they were speaking the truth. Her body in tight leather and she knew how to ride- it was just- sexy.

      What’s he doing? Catia asked, as she sat down with a beer.

      Daydreaming. Mitch said.

      About?

      The female who rides that Suzuki. Zack grinned.

      Oh.

      Shut up. Jake tipped his bottle again. How are you doing Catia?

      Ok.

      That wound heal up all right? Jake met her gaze.

      Ah yeah, they took the stitches out yesterday.

      Hey, you don’t know who drives the Suzuki, do you?

      Ah. Her gaze whipped to Zack when he chuckled. Yeah, why? she asked slowly, glancing back at Jake.

      She’s driving me nutty and no one will tell me who she is. It’s starting to piss me off.

      You’re pissed because she’s driving you nutty or no one will tell you who she is?

      Both. Glancing down when three cell phones went off, Jake took his out. Damn.

      Yeah, see you later Catia. Mitch said, as he rose from the table with Zack.

      Jake set his bottle down and rose up, tucking the cell back into his pocket. I’ll catch you later.

      All right be safe out there. Catia said.

      Thanks. Jake headed to the door, waving at Walt on his way by, and followed Mitch and Zack to the station.

      ~~*~~

      Hey, what’s going on with you? Marc asked.

      Hey cuz. Jake answered as he stared out the window. You haven’t seen that Suzuki, have you?

      Not in a few days. Why, she still playing cat and mouse with you?

      Yeah, glancing over Jake met his gaze as Marc leaned against the wall. Do you know who she is?

      I have my suspicions, but anything definite, no.

      Jake sighed. My brothers know, but they won’t spill.

      Why not?

      No clue. They tell me, I’m a detective, figure it out.

      Why don’t you ask Gloria? Don’t they monitor the garage?

      Jake glanced to the left. Yeah, I think you’re right. Shit, it’s after five. I’ll have to catch her tomorrow.

      Marc chuckled. Yeah, I don’t think your mojo will work with Bill.

      ~~*~~

      Jake cruised on the highway, the temperature hotter than the last few days, glanced to the right, and stared at the bike coming up off the ramp to ride next to him. She tilted her head when he didn’t smile and signed bad day with the hand closest to him. Jake lifted his hand and motioned, two fingers up and straight ahead of them.
