Rescuing Casey
Susan Stoker
Delta Force Heroes Book 7
Release Date January 16th, 2018
One-minute Casey Shea was minding her own business, doing her job, teaching entomology to college students, and the next she was in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle fighting for her life.
Troy “Beatle” Lennon had watched his friends fall head over heels in love, but never thought it would happen to him. Until he sees a picture of one of his teammates’ sisters. That was it. The absolute joy in her eyes calls to him in a way he can't understand.
But that joy is currently being threatened by an unknown person who’d had Casey kidnapped and hidden deep in the jungle. It’s up to Beatle to find her and keep her safe until the threat against her can be neutralized. Surviving the dangers of the jungle turns out to be the easy part…staying ahead of the killer is much more complicated…and deadly.
**Rescuing Casey is the 7th book in the Delta Force Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
Excerpt:
Beatle held his breath. They weren’t authorized to use the secure
channel, and could do nothing but listen as the outcome of the raid on the
kidnappers’ lair was finally revealed.
“Three packages secured. Repeat. Three packages secured.”
If possible, the tension in the room increased tenfold with those words.
“Confirmed,” the voice with the Costa Rican accent said. “Location
of the fourth package?”
“Unknown at this time,” was the response from the Danish Special
Forces soldier.
“Come on,” Beatle said under his breath. “Who’s missing?”
“ETA on your return?”
“Twenty-four hours,” the soldier said. “Packages are in bad shape.
Our speed will be compromised. Two casualties on our side as well. Verifyrendezvous?”
“Dammit,” Hollywood said harshly, pounding a fist on the table.
“Ask who’s missing.”
As if his words were heard by base operations, the next question
made every Delta Force soldier around the table hold his breath.
“ID on the missing package?”
There was a long pause before the Danish solider answered. A
period of time where the United States soldiers listening in the small room
each felt as if they’d aged ten years waiting for the answer.
“The oldest. The packages said it was removed from the area a week ago.”
Before Blade could react to the news that his sister was still
missing, Ghost stood and headed for the door. He turned to look at his team.
“Politics be damned. One of our own is missing, and we aren’t leaving this
country until we get her back.”
Beatle followed his teammates out of the room, all the while his
mind spinning. The only picture he’d seen of Casey Shea had been the one Blade
had shared with the team. It was a couple years old, taken at Christmas.
She’d been standing next to Blade and had him in a headlock. The
soldier had obviously let her get the drop on him, because at over six-three,
there was no way she’d be able to actually overpower him. It was the absolute
joy in Casey’s eyes that Beatle couldn’t get out of his mind.
She was smiling so big, he thought for sure she’d been laughing
when the picture had been taken. She wore a pair of jeans that were molded to
her long legs. The shirt she was wearing had dipped over a shoulder, exposing
the red bra strap underneath it. Her feet were bare, her toes painted the same
bright red as her lingerie.
Her dirty-blonde hair was bunched on top of her head in a messy
bun, making it impossible for Beatle to tell how long it really was. Her green
eyes were staring straight at the camera…and she looked absolutely adorable.
Beatle didn’t believe in love at first sight, but he couldn’t deny
he’d felt a jolt in his belly after seeing that picture. He was immediately
attracted to not only her looks, but what he imagined was her carefree, happy
personality as well.
And that was what worried Beatle the most. They’d rescued plenty
of people in the past, and the thought of the happy woman in Blade’s photo
being changed by the violence she’d experienced ate at him.
Casey Shea didn’t deserve whatever had happened to her. Not that
anyone did, but the cheerful, laughing sister of one of his best friends
definitely did not.
Hold on, Casey, Beatle thought. We’re
comin’ for you. Just hold on.
