Eclipse

Life for Teresa Atkins, juggling being a single parent of three with a corporate career as Vice President of a multinational construction company—and with a new, mischievous puppy in the home—just became more complicated. Her hectic life tailspins out of control as unbeknownst to her, her unscrupulous ex-husband has his eyes on a big payday: the control of her children and their trust fund, her family's business, and a sizeable life insurance policy. Dr. Jessica Atkins, instructs her close friend, Sophia Parker of SPN Industries, to keep a protective eye on her sister, which results in barely thwarting a dire outcome. Private security contractor and explosives guru Emma Finch is tasked with keeping Teresa Atkins safe, albeit from a distance as her reluctant client refuses help. Her cushy babysitting gig turns to mayhem when Teresa's life is endangered by a duplicitous private investigator, insolent in-laws, and armed gangsters hired to terrorize her. As the situation escalates, the man who has been supporting her from afar for many months, Agent Rook, is drawn away from the safety of his desk to provide field backup hundreds of miles away. Used to being a solo operator, Emma Finch has to begrudgingly contend with relying on another. Complicating matters for Emma, her parents fly in for a conference on human rights and equality, and plan to catch up with their secretive daughter. The visitors are roped into peril as fringe group protesters target William Finch, who is the keynote speaker at the conference. Friends and family join in on the protection plans, and things heat up when one SPNI agent connects with another. Eclipse is the 5th book in the Ravens Nest series. The characters are drawn into unexpectedly haunting scenarios, encounter human traffickers, and navigate life-threatening situations as menacing third parties close in on them.
