Love thy enemy.
Steele spent his high school years under the Friday night lights in Poteet, Texas. He went from hometown hero to jarhead in a matter of weeks, taking his best buddy, Abe, with him. After Abe died in combat, Steele quit the Corps and became a member of the Four Horsemen MC. Now his brother and best friend, Coyote, has been taken by a rival MC and Steele fears the worst. To save his brother, he calls in Ashton Calhoun. She works as a security contractor and specializes and kicking asses and crossing off names.
As a teenager, Ash fell hard for Steele. But that went south when his carelessness led to Abe’s death. They’re now bitter enemies and there’s plenty of unfinished business between them. Can Ash and Steele find Coyote before it’s too late? And will these enemies become lovers?
Excerpt
“Ashton
Calhoun,” Steele whispered.
He couldn’t
believe it. He hadn’t seen her since Abe’s funeral. Abe Calhoun’s younger twin sister. Abe had
been born three minutes earlier, so he’d taken on the role of big brother.
“I ain’t seen you in a month of Sundays.” Steele stood and dragged her along with
him.
He
examined her more closely in the hazy light. He’d
know Ash anywhere, even if she’d changed over the years. She stood about five
and a half feet tall with brown hair pinned tight to her head and the same
vivid green eyes. Most noticeably, she
now had a long jagged scar on the right side from her hairline to chin. While
the skin must’ve knit together long ago, it’d left a deep groove in her pretty
face.
Ash
stared right back at him, studying him. “As I live and
breathe, Jack Steele. I thought you looked familiar, but I wondered if my mind
was playin’ tricks on me.”
Or maybe she’d
wanted to fuck with him. He certainly deserved it.
Ash didn’t look
angry, exactly—more like stunned, a
bit wary. The last time he’d seen her, she’d been empty, hollowed out by grief
at her brother’s funeral. He’d tried to approach her afterward, wanting to say
something—anything—to ease her pain, but she’d walked away from him and right
out of his life. They hadn’t spoken since.
Damn, but the
military agreed with her.
She was hotter than he remembered—sleek and
sexy. She was leaner, meaner,
and practically dripping bad-assery with her big gun and tight fatigues. She’d
dropped a couple pounds and replaced it with whip-corded muscle. After he had a
few minutes to get used to the scar, he might get into it—it gave her a
dangerous air.
Justice
still brandished his weapon. “You two know each other?”
“Yeah.
You can stand down. She’s cool, man.”
“Chilly,
you might say.” Then came her familiar sub-zero
expression—colder than a cast-iron commode in the winter.
“Uh…Steele?”
Justice piped up. “She don’t look so friendly.”
Yeah, he could
read it in the curl of her lip, the indifference in her gaze. Ash hated
his ass, and she had every right to, but at least she wasn’t empty. Pissed off
was better than grief-stricken.
Steele smiled at
her, giving her a taste of his charm, hoping he’d thaw her out some.
“Naw. Don’t worry. Me and Ash go way back. Trust me, she’s not a
threat.”
“Wanna bet?”
She socked him in the nose, snapping his head
back.
