Jak

Joseph Alec Keith Robicheaux, better known as Jak, has fought a lot of bad men in his day. Terrorists, drug lords, traffickers, rapists, and more, as an Army Ranger, more importantly, a Robicheaux Ranger, he's now fighting one he can't really see. Haiti is falling apart. There is no government, no police to speak of, tourists are murdered, and children are disappearing. When one of his own men is found hanged and mutilated, Jak knows he might need more help than he has at his fingertips. He never imagined that he would have, not one, but two old women to guide him in this mission. He also never imagined that he'd find the woman he'd been waiting for his entire life, in the middle of a hell-hole. Mattie Smythe took the job teaching at the school, hoping to make a difference. Most of the children she taught were poor, hungry, and barely had a roof over their heads. But they were curious and wanted a different way. If she could provide that, she would. She never expected to have a white knight save her and then turn out to be the man of her dreams. She also never expected to be dying. Waking in Louisiana to find out that her white knight's great-grandmother was her savior was odd, but realizing that this was exactly where she needed to be, was even more strange. Together, Jak and Mattie will find their path, and along the way, maybe help one of their own find an addition to their family.
