Welcome to the origin story for Red River Recovery — Karla's!! If you've met her in the other books, this just might change how you look at her, and if this is your first RRR book, then welcome!!

This is a prequel novella, set approximately five years before Duck and Run.

Red River Recovery owner Karla Goodman's life is about to change in a big way. Forced to sell the business to an out-of-towner, she's doing one last "recovery" for an old friend she hasn't seen in almost twenty years. Three days before Christmas, no less, and for a man who's everything good and noble...and has future and family written all over him. For a forty-something woman whose ex left her holding the bag, Mack is almost too good to be true, and so far away from her reality it's heartbreaking.

Karla is everything college professor Mack Lawson remembers...and more. He enlisted Karla's help because he had nowhere else to turn, and recovering his family's precious keepsake absolutely has to happen before Christmas Day. But now that she's back in his life and her ex is history, Mack's Christmas wish has grown from reclaiming his heritage to making Karla see him as more than a friend, but as her future.

Protecting a Ukranian mail-order bride is Natalie Flynn's last security detail before moving up, into the cushy corner office. Away from the memories of an op that went bad, and where she lost everything.

If Ethan Masters can pull off this last job, his debts will be paid and he'll be his own man again. But when he realizes the helicopter he's repossessing is Natalie's escape hatch, he can't leave her and her charge behind.

Within hours he and Natalie are on the run from the cops, the mob, and maybe even the Russians, all the while battling an attraction that could doom them... or just might save them.

FBI Special Agent Miranda Baker loves her work with Art Crimes, but it's time to retire after almost thirty years in the field. But first she's going to make the find of a lifetime—and a career. She has a line on a lost Picasso and nothing will stop her from reclaiming it. Especially a ridiculously hot younger man whose attitude and tats make her senses sing.

Red River Recovery owner Rob Hude just wants to enjoy some sun and sea when he boards a yacht in the Caribbean in search of a family keepsake. He never counted on Miranda hitting every single one of his buttons—or on them being boarded by pirates. Yes, pirates.

On the run from mercenaries who want them, the boat or the painting, they'll have to use their combined skills to stay alive and recover a lost masterpiece. But when it comes to high stakes, it's really their hearts that are on the line.
