Synopsis:
Despite
a contract on her head, lone Drug Enforcement Agent, Aliyana Montijo must
ferret out a mole and stop the assassination of top DEA officials, as so
ordered by the Colombian drug lord she seeks to take down. The task is a
daunting one, for there is no one she can trust. No one that is, until she
encounters a most unlikely ally.
Former
seventeenth century captain of the Dutch West Indies Company, Wolfaert Dircksen
Van Ness, now from a parallel dimension, encounters the beautiful agent during
an unearthly storm in the Bermuda triangle. Drawn to the Spanish beauty he
rescues, he pledges his assistance, despite her reluctance to accept either his
help or his heart.
Can
Wolf bridge both space and time to claim the woman he loves?
Book Excerpt
Aliyana nodded as she released a breath and said, “Yes, as a
matter of fact they did. Hank has demanded a tour of Mercado’s empire. He said
that he wants to see the way they produce cocaine from start to finish. By so
doing, he could point out their faults and help them improve production.
According to Ortiz, Hank had the audacity to boast about his knowledge of the
latest in drug manufacturing technology as if they were a bunch of ignorant
‘campesinos.’ As you can imagine, this rankled them a bit.”
“I’m surprised they aren’t going to use this outing as an excuse
to kill him,” Cornelius remarked.
Aliyana shrugged as she cast a brief glance downward. “They
actually mentioned that. However, as much as Mercado would like to permanently
get rid of the man, he’s going to show a bit of restraint and allow the ‘pig’
to live—for now.”
“Did they mention whether or not Mercado planned to comply with
this requested tour?” asked Cornelius.
“He is going to comply, but not in the way Hank intends,” she
replied. “Mercado is going to take him much farther south, to a factory and lab
he no longer uses. He is sending some of his employees ahead to clean the place
up and make ready for their visit. Emil wants everything to look as if the lab
is in full swing.”
“So Mercado is conducting the tour personally then?” asked Wolf.
“Yes, he is. He doesn’t trust Hank. Therefore, he wants to observe
his every movement, personally.”
“How long will it take them to get to this lab?”
“If it’s the one I think it is, about three, maybe four hours. Why
do you ask?”
Wolf brushed a hand against his beard as he contemplated this
unexpected opportunity. “How many such places could he possibly take Morris?”
“I only know of two,” she said.
“How long would it take to get to other one?”
Aliyana shook her head as she lifted a shoulder. “Oh, I don’t
know—perhaps an additional half an hour or so. That’s why I think he’ll opt for
the closest one.”
“Did they say when they intend to conduct this tour?”
“Day after tomorrow. Hank is supposed to arrive at dawn. If you
still want to follow the man, you will get your chance then.”
“So travel time, to and from is at least six hours, maybe more,”
Wolf mused aloud. “The tour itself will take some time. What would you think,
another hour maybe two for him to thoroughly inspect the facilities?”
“Every bit of that and then some,” Aliyana said as she knit her
brows in consternation. “Wolf, why are you asking all of these questions?”
“With Mercado out of the way, I’m thinking this might be the
perfect opportunity to escort you inside the man’s office so you can raid those
files on his computer.”
“But we don’t have all of the numbers to his pass code yet,”
Aliyana replied. “I can’t get inside without them.”
In response to the reminder, he allowed a slight smile to emerge
and for several long moments, he held her gaze without saying a word. Her
confusion finally gave way to understanding. He could see it. She drew in a
sharp breath as a burst of anger exploded onto her cheeks.
“You have the ability to get me inside that office anytime you want
to, don’t you Captain Wolfaert Dircksen Van Ness,” she spat.
Wolf folded his arms against his chest, flashed a full-fledged
grin, and bounced his brows.
“I can’t believe you would withhold that information from me,” she
seethed as her eyes shot lethal daggers into his person. “And you just let me
keep watching that screen for hours on end when such a need didn’t exist—”
“Oh come on, Aliyana,” Wolf laughingly protested. “You surely
didn’t think I’d allow you to go in there until the safest possible moment, did
you?”
His humor did nothing to improve her anger. If
anything, it only served to fuel it. She shook her head then and let him have
it--with both barrels blazing--in Spanish, of course. And he enjoyed every
minute of the delightful display.

Book Review:
One of my family’s favorite television
shows is Dr. Who. We love the idea of time travel and all the
fun of the story. Now I find a book that
includes time travel, but not in the stereo-typical manner. In the book, “Shadow of the Witte
Wieven,” Debbie Peterson brings to life a world of time travel, romance, intrigue,
and a hint of mysticism with the tales of the Bermuda Triangle. The characters are well fleshed out, including
the supporting cast.
I love that the lead character is a
strong female character. She is a take
charge woman who can take care of herself, yet she also has a tender side that
enjoys the care she receives from the handsome and caring Wolf pack leader.
I did feel that she accepted the whole
time travel, other world ideas a little too easily, and some of the plot lines
were a little contrived; but otherwise the story was well thought out and satisfactorily
concluded.
I would give this story 4 out of 5
clouds.
Thank you Mindy!
