Five Fingers of Death (Owens Protective Services)

Five Fingers Of Death:

Refers to the five primary methods of killing an enemy or neutralizing a threat.

Firepower, maneuver, intelligence, logistics, communication.

It was practically a code I lived by.

After serving for years under Rafe, it was highly unlikely I’d change a damn thing about that code. He’d ingrained every ounce of that mentality into my head, and that was after the military did it first.

But now he was dead, and the one person I’d always pushed away was the only person I couldn’t keep off my mind. So, I went to her, willing to risk it all to see if she’d have me.

But I was too late.

All those dreams went out the window in a flash, leaving me with the one secret she’d managed to keep from me all these years.

And that secret came in the form of a small, adorable girl.

I knew absolutely nothing about being a father, but this was one mission I wouldn’t fail at, no matter what life threw at me. She was the one pure part of my world that no harm could come to.

But along with Rafe’s death came a promise that I couldn’t shake.

Look after his sister.

Isabelle was beyond messed up after being kidnapped and trapped on an island for the better part of thirteen years. Lord only knew the hell she suffered, but I made a promise, and there was no way in hell I would let him or anyone else down.

I didn’t expect to feel this protective of Isabelle. I didn’t think I’d care about her mental state or if she was happy. But I do, and now it’s my mission to make sure both Isabelle and my daughter are happy and safe.

And in my world, there is no option for failure.
