Introducing author TRACY BRODY and her favorite recipe for Chicken Cream Cheese Enchiladas!
Bad Karma Special Ops Book 5
BY TRACY BRODY
Blurb
Danger escalates and passion erupts when a Special Ops soldier and social worker put aside their past to find his kidnapped sister and protect his nephews from drug smugglers.
Serving on the Army’s elite Bad Karma Special Ops team has given Staff Sergeant Lincoln Porter a sense of worth and belonging. He doesn’t dwell on his past, but after getting a frantic message from his half-sister, Linc takes emergency leave. Upon his return to North Carolina, he discovers that his nephew has been placed in the custody of his sister’s social worker.
His sister and her grandmother are missing, and the evidence points to his sister being duped by an individual with ties to a drug smuggling operation. Linc is determined to protect his nephew from entering the foster care system, but, with his team deployed, his only allies are the social worker who rejected him and the local authorities who want to sideline him from their investigation.

After Linc disappeared into the main bedroom, Kendra debated with herself before following him. She found him rummaging through a vanity drawer. An empty shoe box and a small black hard-shell case with a combination lock sat on the counter.
“What’s in that case?”
Linc hesitated and pushed the case further from her. “Dev’s personal weapon. It might not be safe to go to my house to get mine since I can’t rule out Tawnya having more than the one accomplice who snatched Regina. I’m not taking any chances with Jalen or you.”
“Either keep it locked up or unloaded with Jalen in the house. Kids his age don’t understand the danger.”
“I know that.”
She shrank back at his tone. “I am not your enemy, Linc.” And it was going to make being together harder if they treated each other like adversaries. “We both want the same thing—Bri home safely and what’s best for Jalen. Maybe we should address the elephant in the room.”
“What’s that?” He put the top on the shoe box and placed it on the highest shelf in the closet.
He was going to act like it hadn’t happened or didn’t mean anything? “That you asked me out, and I had to turn you down.” Or maybe he had an ulterior motive in trying to help Bri back then too.
“That was a long time ago, and whatever. You had your reasons.” He picked up the gun case and started to move past her.
“Whatever?” She didn’t expect him to be mooning over her, but they needed to get along while they were stuck together.
He raised an eyebrow. “I understood the girls in high school not wanting to go out with me when I was a foster kid, but that’s my past. I turned out all right. I thought you’d be the last person to—”
“You think that’s why I turned you down?”
He shrugged.
He had nerve calling her character into question and thinking she’d be that shallow when he knew nothing about her. “That had nothing to do with it. I didn’t even see that in Bri’s file.”
“You’re going to stick to the conflict of interest because I’m your client’s brother, then?”
“It was a conflict of interest.” That should have been reason enough, so she hadn’t explained the entire reason then, but now? Maybe if he understood her family background, it would make this easier. “The women in my family have a bad history when it comes to military men.”
“You said no because I’m in the Army? What? You’re saying you’ve sworn off all military men?”
Tracy Brody began writing spec movie and TV scripts, however, she switched to using her overactive imagination and sense of humor to write romance books. Her heroes all wear camouflage and her heroines aren’t damsels waiting to be saved. She’s published four tastefully-steamy romantic suspense books in the Bad Karma Special Ops series and four sweet-with-some-heat romantic comedies in her Faking It series.
Tracy invokes her sense of humor while volunteering at the USO. You may spot her dancing in the grocery store aisles or talking to herself as she plots books and scenes while walking in her neighborhood, the park, or at the beach.

Welcome to Karen’s Killer Fixin’s, Tracy. Gotta love a good-looking man on a cover! It draws you right in. Can’t wait to read Lincoln’s story. I also can’t wait to try this recipe. It sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing both with us today!
I appreciate your offer to share my book and hope y’all find a yummy new dish to cook. Shemar Moore was my muse for Linc, and I do think that cover model is what I envision.
LOVE Shemar Moore. He’s muse material!
Thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays!!!
Thanks for stopping in and I hope you have a wonderful holiday, too!
tasty recipe
I’m happy to say this one beat my expectations for a recipe I saw shared on Facebook and I didn’t ask the person who shared if they’d made it.
I enjoyed the excerpt, and I look forward to reading more. The recipe sounds yummy.
Julie, I’m glad you enjoyed the excerpt and hope you’ll enjoy Linc’s book and the rest of the Bad Karma team. I made the enchilada’s last night which made my daughter very happy since she’s been working three jobs and is exhausted and loves these. And my 97-year-old mother-in-law loves them and did not like the store-bought ones my sister-in-law tried to feed her last week. 😉
