Missing persons, stolen identities, and international intrigue in a sleepy little town in the Colorado Rockies will keep you on the edge of your seat. Second book in the Mountain Town Mysteries Series. A riveting #paranormal #romance, #mystery, you’re going to love!

My inspiration for this second book in the Mountain Town Mysteries Series is that the characters in Security Force for Two weren’t done telling their story. As I finished that book, Candle and her contingency keep in my mind and dreams their stories where not finished. In fact they claim there are at least three maybe four more stories to be told before the profession is brought to justice. Who am I the argue with my characters. I always lose anyway. So here’s book number two.

Lets See What Terrabyte Security is all about:

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?

A Sneak Peek Between the Pages of Terrabyte Security:

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?”
