Beckett #6
Abandoned
Wanting more than being a Beckett, Glenna moves to California, opens a successful vintage shop and even finds love with international playboy, Lance Gordon. When he proposes, she ignores any doubts she has and says yes. He even agrees to meet her in Brooklyn N.Y for a wedding with the entire Beckett clan. Imagine her worry when he misses the nuptials. Refusing to believe she’s been abandoned at the altar, she asks her FBI Agent brother, Tyler, to contact a friend on the West Coast to find Lance.
Special Agent, Patrick McGinnis, can’t believe he’s on a wild goose chase for a missing groom. The bride might be drop dead gorgeous, but that didn’t mean her playboy fiancé couldn’t have found something more enticing.
Unfortunately, once Patrick starts to dig, he finds there’s more to the tale and it will take all his skills as an agent to keep Glenna safe. Especially when the case takes a turn and threatens the safety of his son, Finn.

Abandoned (Beckett #6) is another one with a great plot. However, I knocked this one down a star because of the slop-shod editing. There are way too many possessives where there shouldn't be and a few sentence fragments, just to name a few. The previous book also had these errors, but since I'm not a nit-picky reviewer, I ignored them. However, it started driving me nuts in this book.
