This volume contains Manipulation, Redemption, and Reunion of the Diversion series. Manipulation:Lucky Lucklighter has a new life. His old life wants him back.He traded trafficking for taking down criminals with the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau, and a drug-lord lover for a man on the right side of the law. Bo Schollenberger found the way past the thorny defenses of Lucky's heart, and made Mr. I-Get-Along-Fine-Alone think about his and his closets, stevia in the sugar bowl, and a picket fence-with a good lock on the gate.Now Bo is missing, and a voice long silenced asks, Did you miss me? Lucky must deal with a devil from his past to get Bo back.And if Bo isn't willing to come? A drug ring needs its back broken before flooding the US with a designer high, seductive and undetectable. But there's a fine line between good and evil, and a truckload of temptation urging Lucky to cross. Redemption:Living is the easy part.Agent Lucky Lucklighter and his partner escaped Mexico alive, only to plunge into bureaucratic fallout from their mission. Hell, maybe Lucky should have stayed south of the border. Especially when the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau places Bo into rehab, and Lucky's facing both therapy and an inquiry into a fatal shooting. Watching over his shoulder for a vengeful drug lord or a cartel don calling in favors leaves him scarcely able to imagine a future for them as agents, or as a couple.Bo Schollenberger once had a vision for their life together, but he's bowed beneath the weight of his undercover work. Lucky's hanging on by his deeply chewed fingernails, clinging to hope by making Bo's dreams of a home into reality. The last thing he needs is a phone call from a dangerous man who knows too much, summoning him back to Mexico for an early Christmas present. Reunions can be murder.A dial tone instead of a human voice announced Lucky's ousting from the Lucklighter clan over twelve years ago. After living a life of crime. After testifying against his drug lord lover. After receiving a ten-year sentence. Ah, hell. Lucky would've disowned himself too.Now life's better. He's done his time and earned a place in the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau's Department of Diversion Prevention and Control. He has a house. He has Bo, his partner both on and off the job. And pets. But not his folks. The worst part? He's not sure exactly why they disowned him. Too late now-they think he's dead.Now his father needs a gift only Lucky can give. And Lucky's family has something that may destroy all he believes:The truth.
