Whatever it Takes
Trust No One # 4
By Dixie Lee Brown
But going undercover as husband and wife, with none other than the disarmingly sexy Detective Nate Sanders, may be a little more togetherness than she can handle. She’s used to working alone, and no man is going to change that - not even a man who makes her heart pound and her defenses crumble with just a touch
Nate has dodged more than a few bullets over the years, but fighting his attraction for Alex may be the bullet that does him in. Still, Nate’s determined to help her find the missing kid. There’s no doubt in his mind that they’re walking straight into danger, but Nate’s willing to face anything if it means protecting Alex. She might have been on her own once, but Nate has one more mission: to stay by her side - forever.

Book Excerpt
Hell, he barely knew Alex. What was it about her that made him want to protect her? She’d laugh in his face if he suggested she couldn’t take care of herself. This crazy impulse was going to get him in trouble if he didn’t rein it in.
Hell, he barely knew Alex. What was it about her that made him want to protect her? She’d laugh in his face if he suggested she couldn’t take care of herself. This crazy impulse was going to get him in trouble if he didn’t rein it in.
He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her against his side in far too familiar an embrace, but he didn’t care. She needed to know he was watching out for her. She didn’t seem to mind, leaning into him as though they held each other like this all the time.
“Savannah, this is Alex.”
The hooker reached for her hand. “I can’t thank you enough for what you did, sugar.”
A tiny smile showcased one of Alex’s dimples.
“She’s a little nervous. She doesn’t care much for cops.” Nate figured if anyone would understand, Savan- nah would. Hookers had no reason to like cops either.
“Well, I hear that, honey. Except for present company, there’s not much good about them.” She turned her con- cerned gaze on Alex. “Don’t you worry. I’m here for you if you need me.”
Cars screeched to a halt directly out front and sirens wound down to nothing just as six guys dressed in SWAT gear poured through the door.
Nate held up his badge. “They went out the back about seven or eight minutes ago. Those two are wounded.” He indicated the fallen men.
One of the officers spoke into his radio and the next instant two EMTs with medical bags and a stretcher plowed through the door and went to work. The SWAT team cleared the back of the building and prepared to search the alley.
The next person through the door was the man Nate had been waiting for. A full head of silver hair and a well- cut pin-striped suit made him easy to spot at any crime scene. His boss’s gaze swept the room, and when it came to rest on him, a scowl darkened his features.
Alex tensed beside him, and Nate squeezed her arm reassuringly. Captain Gene Morris had a loud bark, but he was mostly harmless.
“What the hell happened here, Sanders? This was sup- posed to be a simple drug deal. Now I’ve got two dead cops and nobody to hold responsible. It hasn’t escaped my notice that you’re standing here with two beautiful young women. Mind telling me how you get so close to the shit without getting any on you?” The man stared at Nate, ignoring Alex and the hooker, which was fine with him.
He’d just opened his mouth to tell Cap to calm down when Alex started to laugh. To be fair, she tried to stop herself, almost choking, covering her mouth, but finally couldn’t contain the mirth that bubbled free.
Cap cocked one eyebrow and glared while she tried to control herself.
“I’m . . . I’m sorry . . . it’s just . . . that sounded like something I would have said . . . and you’ve certainly got Nate pegged.”
Nate huffed and turned to stare at her bemusedly. He’d been worried about her holding up under question- ing, yet she’d tossed him under the bus in a heartbeat.
