You Only Love Twice (Masters and Mercenaries #8)(124)

Ten shook his head and settled into the other chair. “Too dangerous. It’s why I forced Hutch to come home. I was in Saudi and then Iraq.”

“And now you’re home.”

“I am. Has there been any blowback from killing al Fareed?”

Tag shook his head. “No. The * you questioned couldn’t remember a thing and the whole incident was written up as a street crime. Albertson was fired from the senator’s team. What the hell did you do to cover up the op at al Fareed’s compound?”

“I talked to his brother,” Ten said. “Ibrahim al Fareed is as far from Hani as a person can get. He’s why Hutch and I didn’t get caught. He’d been suspicious of his brother for a long time. He was happy to cover it up. He doesn’t want the stain on the family name. He’s an ally.”

It was good Ten had found someone to help him. And definitely good to know the senator wasn’t coming after them anytime soon. It had been a peaceful couple of months. Tag was ready to kick a little ass. “Tell me you’re here for a reason, brother.”

Ten nodded, his mouth a grim line. “I’ve found it. I’ve found a way to get to Hank McDonald.”

The man who had used his influence to burn Ten. The man who had sold Jamie Grant out. McDonald was the reason Jesse’s unit had been murdered and he’d been tortured for months on end. Yeah, he wanted a piece of that. That pie was going to be filled with all kinds of revengey goodness. “Tell me.”

“According to my intel, he keeps all his records and files on a private system offshore. The bastard owns a compound in the Grand Caymans, and my sources say that’s where all the evidence will be.”

Ian was fairly certain he didn’t want to know how Ten had gotten that information. Ten looked older and infinitely harder, as though the last few months had taken all the party boy out of him and left nothing but the predator. “All right. How do you get on the island?”

Ten’s eyes gleamed in the moonlight. “He has a daughter. Once a year he throws her a no-holds-barred party there. I’m going to get an invitation to that party.”

“Nice. How are you going to do that?” His brain was already working. They would need to plant a few operatives in that house, maybe around the island, too. He wasn’t going to allow Ten to go in alone.

“By seducing her and becoming her boyfriend. There’s one problem with that.”

Tag saw the obvious problem. “Yes, that shit on your face. Unless she’s into Grizzly Adams, you’re going to shave.”

Ten’s green eyes rolled. “Not that, *. She’s in the lifestyle.”

Now it was Ian’s turn to grin. Oh, this was going to be so much fun. He slapped Ten on the shoulder. “Then it’s time to Dom you up, buddy. And I know just the place to do it.”

But the man had to shave. After all, Sanctum had its standards.



Tennessee Smith and the rest of the McKay-Taggart crew will return in Master No coming August 4th, 2015.

A MASTERS AND MERCENARIES NOVELLA Masters and Mercenaries 8.5

By Lexi Blake

Coming May 12, 2015

A man who gave up on love

Mitch Bradford is an intimidating man. In his professional life, he has a reputation for demolishing his opponents in the courtroom. At the exclusive BDSM club Sanctum, he prefers disciplining pretty submissives with no strings attached. In his line of work, there’s no time for a healthy relationship. After a few failed attempts, he knows he’s not good for any woman—especially not his best friend’s sister.

A woman who always gets what she wants

Laurel Daley knows what she wants, and her sights are set on Mitch. He’s smart and sexy, and it doesn’t matter that he’s a few years older and has a couple of bitter ex-wives. Watching him in action at work and at play, she knows he just needs a little polish to make some woman the perfect lover. She intends to be that woman, but first she has to show him how good it could be.

A killer lurking in the shadows

Assigned to work together on an important case, Mitch and Laurel are confronted with the perfect opportunity to explore their mutual desire. Night after night of being close breaks down Mitch’s defenses. The more he sees of Laurel, the more he knows he wants her. Unfortunately, someone else has their eyes on Laurel and they have murder in mind.
