He rotated his neck, trying to stretch out some of the kinks. It had been a long two days. He was home now and needed a few days’ break. At least he hoped he got a couple days off. He’d taken an extra day to stay with the family and Gavin over there to tie up things and to get all the facts straight.
But now that Shane was home, he threw himself onto the lounge chair and relaxed. He didn’t know quite what the next few days would bring, but he was up for it. At least he thought he would be. It was a hell of a deal joining the Mavericks, but he was pretty happy with his decision. If ever somebody needed to be stopped, it was Melinda. He hadn’t expected this to be the level of the work he would be doing. Still, it was what it was. As he sat here, his phone buzzed, and he smiled when he saw it was Gavin. He hit the Talk button. “I’m home, safe and sound, bud. No need to worry about me.”
“Hey, I just wanted to make sure you were looking after that leg of yours,” he said.
“Yep, we’re all good.”
“Good,” he said. “How do you feel about New York?”
“Why the hell would I want to go there?” he asked.
At that, Gavin laughed. “Remember Diesel?”
“Diesel Edwards? Yeah, I remember. What about him?”
“He’ll be waiting for you there at the airport.”
“Shit, am I leaving already?” Shane asked, as he looked at his beer.
“Absolutely. Well, you’re leaving in about three hours,” he said.
“Wow, not even enough time to do a load of laundry.”
“Sure there is, if you put down that beer, get up off your ass, and get your clothes in the machine,” Gavin said, laughing. “You can drink it while they wash.”
“What am I doing in New York?” he asked, as he walked back to his bag of dirty clothes and did exactly that. With the washing machine started, he grabbed his beer and looked down at his phone. “So, what aren’t you saying?”
“It looks like a hostage situation has gone down in a big telecom building,” he said.
“What’s that got to do with me?”
“Well, Diesel is already in position or will be. He’ll pick you up at the airport. You are going into the tunnels and coming up through the basement.”
“What the hell does SWAT have to say about that?”
“Well, they’re hoping this might be right up your alley.”
“Why is that?”
“Because, uh, … because one of your best friends is in there.”
At that moment, everything inside Shane froze.
“Shelly?” He remembered her saying she had a brand-new job in New York. “I know she lives there, but what’s she doing in the telecom building?”
“She was a new hire about forty-five days ago,” he said. “Didn’t you hear about it?”
And, of course, he had, but he had completely forgotten. “So why do you think she’s involved? That’s a huge building.”
“Because the kidnappers said she was. And they are hanging on to her until you arrive. So get yourself ready and get out there.”
This concludes Book 11 of The Mavericks: Gavin.

The Mavericks: Gavin (Book #12)
What happens when the very men—trained to make the hard decisions—come up against the rules and regulations that hold them back from doing what needs to be done? They either stay and work within the constraints given to them or they walk away. Only now, for a select few, they have another option:
The Mavericks. A covert black ops team that steps up and break all the rules … but gets the job done.
Welcome to a new military romance series by USA Today best-selling author Dale Mayer. A series where you meet new friends and just might get to meet old ones too in this raw and compelling look at the men who keep us safe every day from the darkness where they operate—and live—in the shadows … until someone special helps them step into the light.
Her kidnappers demanded Shane arrive. Finding out his best friend was held as a pawn just pissed him off. Finding out rescuing her was a test made him seriously angry. He hates being used. These men mean business though, as Shane finds a body count too high for comfort.
Shelly knew Shane would come for her. No way he wouldn’t. She was lucky to have Shane there for her, especially when learning a second woman had been kidnapped and held for over six months. The simple rescue of Shelly turns into something more to find this second woman.
But is there one killer boss out there or two? As the pair try to secure their own freedom, it gets even murkier, until finding a way through is paramount. Otherwise no one gets a happy ending.
