âI would have helped with Brodie.â The words shot out of his mouth before he could stop them.
Shayla shifted in her seat to face him. âYou accused my father and brother of being criminals, remember?â
Mike couldnât deny it.
More miles passed before he spoke again. âI want to be a part of Brodieâs life.â
Shayla let out a harsh laugh. âIâm sure you do. However, has it occurred to you that the two people youâre accusing of being criminals are Brodieâs uncle and grandfather?â
A hard lump formed in the back of his throat, making it impossible to speak. She was rightâhe hadnât considered that fact, yet he couldnât let go of what he knew in his heart was true. Duncan and Ian were involved in his fatherâs murder and needed to be brought to justice.
No matter the consequences? His resolve wavered. He couldnât lose his son.
âYeah, thatâs what I thought,â Shayla said in a weary tone.
He knew he needed to tread lightly. Alienating Shayla wouldnât help his goal of being involved in Brodieâs life.
Dear Reader,
Protecting His Secret Son is the sixth and last book in my Callahan Confidential series. I know you have been waiting for Mikeâs story and, as you expected, I was thrilled to finally solve Max Callahanâs murder.
I hope you enjoyed Mike and Shaylaâs story. Many of you have reached out asking about Hawkâs story, so Iâm hoping to write his book very soon. I love hearing from my readers. If youâre interested in contacting me or signing up for my newsletter, please visit my website at www.laurascottbooks.com. Iâm also on Facebook at Laura Scott Books Author and on Twitter @laurascottbooks.
Yours in faith,
Laura Scott

This book is dedicated to my son, Jonathan Iding, who has followed in my footsteps to become a registered nurse. Iâm so proud of you!
