Joe Pickett Book Order Novels & Stories

“Joe, what are you doing here? How did you even find me?” He took one hesitant footstep, unsure of how I'd react if he got too close. “I know you have every reason not to trust me, but please, hear me out.” I knew in my guts that he was being sincere and that kept me from turning him away outright. Nodding slightly, I gestured to a pair of rickety chairs by a dusty shelf. We both sat, the old wood creaking under our weight. Joe cleared his throat, looking around before leaning closer. “I’ve been working undercover in the Dark Moonlight pack. The owner of this bookstore, a distant relative of mine, helped me infiltrate.”

Elias left the office with his awareness humming low and steady, the system rearranging itself around him in subtle ways. He understood now that fracture did not always announce itself as chaos. Sometimes, it arrived as order, claimed by the wrong hands.

“Well, he’s risking everything. That’s his plan. He doesn’t want to take over the business. That’s what I heard from Conrad.” If I were Caleb, I think I would feel the same. I now understood why he said something about women not taking them seriously. And since Conrad, his older brother, was still single until now, Caleb must be thinking he didn’t want to end up like his brother. They couldn’t find a woman decent enough to accept the business they were in. I don’t know. Women are right to be scared of that place. It’s just too much to handle. But...Jake... “Mr. Page wants his sons to run the Amythest.” Jake’s words pulled me out of my thoughts.

His eyes turned toward Olivia, who was stepping out of the kitchen carrying a birthday cake that read Happy Birthday, Niko! Inside the house, Joe was busy organizing a fresh stack of books that had just arrived from the printer. On the cover, bold letters read: Voice from the Darkness – A Story of Hope and Love in the Storm. The book had become a symbol of their journey—a testimony to love, pain, and healing that wasn’t always smooth, but always real. Joe’s eyes welled up as he stared at the cover. On the dedication page, he had written: > For those who were once lost in the dark… may you find the voice to come back.

Her mouth gaped at his words. "Tsk, tsk," Joe clicked his tongue as he came and stood next to Elle, he wrapped his arms around her and he raised his brows at Eiden with a smug look on his face, "Why are you acting so petty?" Eiden's eyes narrowed at his hands on her shoulder, he then glared at the guy, "No one said I can't, now get out." She narrowed her eyes at him, she was about to argue when Joe turned her to him, "that's fine we can take the book from another store," He smiled at her.

Then I saw my dad pick up his mobile phone from the table, and he made a short call. "Mr. Smith, please hold my request to fire one of your employees, Mr. Dexter Corteza," he said, and I couldn't stop the trembling of my hands as I realized that if I hadn't come to his office, Megan's brother would have lost his job as well. Then he ended the call after saying thanks, and he looked at me with a broad smile on his face.
