    About this ebook


    24 Karat Ammunition

    Joanna Wayne

    Powerful and president of the family oil business, opportunists looked at Langston Collingsworth and saw money, but he saw the land as his life force. So when the Collingsworth empire was threatened, it was personal.

    It happened innocently enough, a young girl needing his help. But her mother was none other than Trish Edwards–Langston's high school sweetheart. The two were trapped in a blackmail and murder investigation and on the run since the day Trish gave birth to a Collingsworth heir.
