       “I need to know … you remember. Tell me … you remember.”

      The Cajun’s dark eyes were wild with agony, and his face contorted in misery. She hated seeing him suffer.

      “Nicole,” he repeated, and held a hand out, summoning her to come closer.

      At that moment, the morning sun broke over the tops of the trees and shone through the open side door of the helicopter, casting his rugged face in sharp relief. For the first time, she could truly see the man who’d risked his life for her. Her heart clenched, and the prickle of déjà vu returned. He seemed so familiar …

      “I … need—” He stopped, clenching his teeth and growling in torment. “Please … I need to know … you remember.”

      “I remember,” she lied, leaning closer to be sure he heard her.

      “Then say my name, Nicole.”

      And in a heartbeat, an echo from her past yanked her back five years to a hotel room in New Orleans. Her heart wrenched, and tears spilled from her eyes.

      “Oh, my God!” She curled her fingers into the hair at his nape and buried her face in his neck. “Daniel …”

      Dear Reader,

      As I was writing Soldier’s Pregnancy Protocol, I found myself more and more fascinated by Alec’s missing partner, Daniel LeCroix. What had happened to him? I asked myself. Just who was this mysterious Cajun? Even though he was not “on screen” most of the book, I felt his presence throughout writing the book. Secondary characters sometimes take over, demanding their own story be told. By the time I finished Alec’s book, Daniel’s history with Senator White’s daughter was already playing out in my head.

      I was thrilled to have the chance to write Daniel and Nicole’s story … so much so that the opening chapters of The Reunion Mission almost wrote themselves. This is a true story of my heart, even though I shook my head at times wondering what I’d done to myself by having characters who needed to speak not just Spanish, but Colombian Spanish, and not just French, but Cajun French. (Yes, there is a big difference!) I hope you enjoy Daniel and Nicole’s story as much as I enjoyed telling it …

      Oh, and keep an eye out for book three in the BLACK OPS RESCUES series. I hope to have Jake’s story ready soon! As always, more information about all my books is available on my website, www.bethcornelison.com.

      Happy reading,
