“Yes,” Cam, Eva, and Libby said in unison. Figured the former and current detectives and the district attorney would be all for it.
“I agree,” Reece said.
“I don’t,” Shelby added. “In my experience, cops are bad news. No offense, sis,” she added to Eva. “But you know where I’m coming from. I haven’t had the best luck with law enforcement.”
Vaughn winced because his gut reaction mirrored Shelby’s. He glanced down at Lark and saw the same doubt on her face. “Yeah, we’re with Shelby.” He shook his head. “Besides, Greer wouldn’t want us to call the cops.”
Jude hissed out a breath. “Sorry, baby,” he said to his wife, “but I have to agree with Vaughn, Lark, and Shelby on this one. Something tells me getting the cops involved is a bad idea.”
“Well, voting’s out then,” Reece said. “That’s four and four. So what are our options? What do we do?”
Silence.
“He’s always taken care of us, guys,” Reece added when the silence stretched too long. “From the time he was fifteen, he’s taken care of us. He’s given up his whole life to make sure we’d be okay. It’s time we return the favor.”
Vaughn felt a light brush against his hand and glanced down. Lark entwined their fingers and stared back. There was worry in her eyes for her new brother-in-law even though she barely knew Greer, and Christ, he loved her for that.
“You found me,” she said softly. “You can find him.”
He leaned over and kissed her. “I love you,” he whispered for her ears alone. Then he straightened and gazed around the room at his brothers and sisters-in-law. The size of their once ragtag little family had doubled in recent months and was continuing to grow along with the baby in Libby’s belly. And he sure as fuck wasn’t ready to lose any of them. “She’s right. We’ll find Greer. And whatever trouble he’s in, we’ll deal with it. Together. As a family.”
A chorus of agreements rang out.
“All right,” Reece said. “It’s settled. Let’s find our big brother.”

Acknowledgments
As always, I want to thank the amazing team at Entangled for taking each of my rough manuscripts and helping me polish them until they shine. I’m glad beyond words that Entangled was the start of my writing journey and no matter what other publishers I write for down the road, Entangled will always be home.
I also want to give a shout out to a reader, Paula Moore. She probably doesn’t remember this, but two years ago she won the chance to name a character in one of my books and she gave me the name Sage Evans. Thanks so much for the awesome name, Paula! It was perfect for the heroine of this story.
