Owens Protective Services | Box Set 3

Full Battle Rattle

I REQUIRE INTENSE SUPERVISION.

That’s what they say about me. In fact, it became my nickname—IRIS.

Yes, I like to blow stuff up.

Yes, it’s more exciting than dismantling a bomb.

Is it my fault I have a thirst for exhilarating work?

So, I went on this job that was less than thrilling.

My team was supposed to solve a series of murders, but that’s not really my thing.

And the worst part was keeping an eye on this woman.

Jane Layne. Shayla Jacque. Detective Jane Blackthorne… Blackwood?

Who has that many names?

As a mystery writer with a flare for the dramatic, she’s determined to solve the murder cases based on her very own books.

She’s smart as a whip and entertaining to be around. But there’s one thing I can’t stand.

Her fascination with her neighbor.

Alexander Pierce.

He’s a smarmy lawyer who has her wrapped around his little finger.

And I bet that’s larger than what he boasts down below.

Between the backhanded compliments and those pretentious suits, I’m not sure what she sees in him.

And don’t get me started on her informant. Tall, suave…a version of me, if I’m being honest.

All these men falling at her feet, and where do I fit into the equation?

Why am I not in her books? Granted, she just met me, but that’s beside the point.

If I want to be the main character in her life, I have to stop playing the supporting friend.

I just hope she doesn’t blow us up first.


Embrace The Suck

I should have just stayed home.

I thought I could get away and relax.

But that was scrapped the first day when Dash and FNG followed me on vacation.

It was supposed to be a trip to reset my brain.

To get away from all the women flooding work, desperate to be involved and blow stuff up, throw knives, and eat shawarma with the resident psychopath.

But they weren’t the worst part of the trip.

No, that would be the woman that shouldn’t have ever stepped foot in a desert.

Whining and complaining were not supposed to happen on this trip.

But it did.

I should not have had to fight off a rabbit in a yurt.

But I did.

And that bighorn sheep…

 

But that was only the beginning of the worst vacation known to man.

Then there were bullets, enemies coming from all directions, and the sexiest, most annoying woman directly in the center of it.

And I had to protect her.

 

They say vacation is fun.

They’ve never been on one with her.

Assume The Position

There’s only one way this ends, and that’s with her by my side.

It started out as a search for a missing teammate, but quickly morphed into an intense attraction for the beautiful medical examiner.

Lust fueled me to follow her.

To find out everything I could about her.

To save her.

And when it came time to run, she chose me.

Caught up in a deadly game by my boss, Tahlia was the unexpected twist I didn’t see coming.

And the moment she put her hand in mine, I knew I was a goner.

There’s no one that can protect her like I can.

There’s no one that will make her scream like me.

Lust may have started this deadly game, but love will see it through to the end.

She doesn’t know it, but she’s already mine.
