Dear Reader,
I have really enjoyed writing the Chance, Texas series. I’ve had so much fun creating characters that seem like a few of the people I met while living in Texas. I *heart* Texans! Thanks also to many of you for writing to say you have loved reading these stories.
Just a little background on the Chance family: after finishing high school, the youngest Chance brother, Colt, decides he hates living on the family ranch. He leaves, becoming a federal attorney, and vows to stay away from Chance, Texas, and the Bar-C ranch for good. But there are still a few mysteries for Colt to solve in Chance. Eventually, he’s driven to find out who really murdered his mother and framed his father. He also wants to know why his high school sweetheart left him without a word of goodbye.
And finally there is one last puzzle for the Chance family to solve. What happened to the kidnapped baby sister they’d named Cami and lost when she was only four?
Last Chance Reunion is organized a little differently than the other books. I wanted to share these last two stories of Colt and Cami together, so I put them both in one book.
Enjoy your reading!

The young woman was walking down the other side of the street in the middle of a crowd and he needed a better look.
Just yesterday his brother had faxed a computerized, age-enhanced photo of their little sister, Cami, gone since the age of four. And the woman he’d just seen seemed a perfect match to that photo. She’d stood out in the middle of the group of Mexican-Americans who had appeared to be traveling together down the busy barrio sidewalk. Her lighter skin color and more updated clothing made him take notice.
Forgetting for the moment that he was supposed to be in the middle of a three-agency government sting, he chased the moving tangle of people down the block—though his orders had been to stay put.
His family had searched
