Wakeland Warriors
A pulse-pounding contemporary romantic suspense featuring a scarred military hero, the fierce PI ex-wife he never stopped loving, and a race across Oklahoma to save the daughter he never knew he had.
AdamWakeland is a battle-tested soldier carrying scars no one can see. Riley is the woman he left behind—now a fierce, independent private investigator running one of the best agencies around. She has never forgiven Adam for returning to his post right after their miscarriage, and she isn’t sure she ever will. Worse, no one knows leaving was his choice, so half their small Oklahoma town blames her for the split.
Then an old letter surfaces and drops a bombshell into Adam’s life: he has a seven-year-old daughter. Her name is Kendall Grace, and she’s missing and in grave danger after her mother is attacked. Desperate, Adam turns to the one detective he trusts to find the child he’s never met—his brilliant ex-wife.
Thrown together on the hunt, tracking clues across the state, Adam and Riley are forced to face the grief they never processed together and a passion that blazes still.. Now, with time running out to save his little girl, it’s him and Riley against the odds, just like it used to be. Maybe this time…things can end differently for all of them.

From New York Times bestselling and RITA® Award-wining novelist Maggie Shayne.
His whole life was a lie.
She's the only one who can help him find the truth.
Wolf Travail thought he knew who he was. Then his mother's diary revealed that he wasn't born to her at all. He was abandoned in the Rio Grande as a newborn and found by a runaway girl who raised him as her own. Not even his name is real.
Camellia Rio is the PI hired to help Wolf find his birth family. She's guarded, gun-shy, and has sworn off men for good. But from the moment she meets Wolf, something shifts—and the walls she's built don't feel quite as solid.
Wolf has no interest in finding the family who threw him away. But he’s not ready to let Camellia go.
What begins as a professional arrangement becomes an emotional journey neither expected—two wounded hearts, one dangerous attraction, and a truth that's been waiting decades to surface.
Meanwhile, far away, a sister learns she once had a brother—and sets out to find what became of him.
