One Of My Favorite Heroes
When I was writing HUNTED a Deputy U.S. Marshal came into the picture. Frank Castello was Katie's contact in the Witness Protection Program. At first Castello was supposed to be a secondary character in this book only. Problem was, he became not only an integral part of the story, he bonded with the Edgars brothers, Matt and Luke. A bit of a loner, the Edgars clan unofficially adopted him as one of their own.
Rarely do I have the image of an actor so connected to my vision of a character. Except, everytime I close my eyes when I think about Castello I see Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Sigh. 😊
As I got to know Castello, I learned he was a man of action more than words. He also had a witty sense of humor, laced with sarcasm at the right moments. He was also loyal and brave. He'd do anything to protect his adoptive family, every last one of them. Even if that meant dealing with his most hated professionals, photographers. EXPOSED is Castello's story!
She Was Going To Be Trouble…
U.S. Marshal Frank Castello is on medical leave and feeling restless. While at his friends’ wedding he finds himself attracted to Sydney Peele. Problem was, the cute, sassy blonde is the photographer for the wedding. Frank hates photographers. They’re a hazard to his profession, especially when he’s on witness protection duty.
He Had Hero Written All Over Him…
Sydney Peele is intrigued by the grumpy Marshal at her friend’s wedding, even when the big, sexy man begrudgingly offers to take her home afterwards. Her pleasure is short lived when her home and life is literally going up in flames. Her brother had been staying at her home and there is no sign of him anywhere. When Sydney goes into a state of frozen shock, finely honed instinct has Castello rushing her from the scene to safety at his home.
Danger Surrounds Them…
A visit to the fire scene the next day confirms his suspicions when the firemen on the sight confirm it a case of arson. As Frank and Sydney search for answers about who might’ve started the blaze, questions arise about her brother, also a photographer. Was he responsible for the fire? Or has he exposed his sister to something far more sinister?
