It was just
supposed to be a regular Thursday afternoon…and then he saw her. Sitting in
seat L214, one seat over from his at the baseball game, right next to her
douche of a soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend. An impromptu kiss for the kiss cam, and
Jax knew his life would never be the same. Five years and a tour in Afghanistan
later, Jax is back stateside running his own private security firm, Iron-Clad,
with his best friend. He isn't the man he used to be... but Megan isn't the
sexy and sweet, though sheltered, twenty-two-year-old he left behind, either.
And she's in trouble.
...but now they're on the run.
“I
can’t believe I’m here with you. I mean, I didn’t think I’d ever see you
again.”
His
face softened and there was the ghost of a smile hidden somewhere in his bushy beard.“Still
not a question.”
“How
long have you been back?”
“Few
months.”
“What
happened to you? Do you leave again?”
“Got
blown up, got discharged, came home, not leaving again.”
It
was short, and she needed more information, but knowing he wasn’t going to
expand, she moved on. “Okay,” she sing-songed, “are you married?” Then she
heard the very familiar and very welcome chuckle of Jackson Irons. It hit her
right in the chest. It was her first glimpse of the old Jax.
“No.
Not married.”
“Do
you want to know if I’m married?” she asked.
“Already
know you’re not.” His arms were big and bulky and the way that he leaned into
the island made him look impatient.
“Can
you sit? You’re making me nervous.”
He
pushed off the counter and sat on the chair across from her, the island between
them. “What do you do now?” “I co-own Iron-Clad Security here in town. We do
all types of security work including
bodyguard, government ops, cyber-security, securing homes.”
She
held out her finger and pointed to herself. “I’m pretty sure I’m in the market
for some of that.”
“Already
on it, Meg.”
“Really?
Don’t I have to hire you first, or something? Discuss prices? Sign a contract?”
“You
think I’d sit back and wait for a stalker to break in again while we discuss
pricing options? Fill out paperwork?”
USA Today bestselling author, Sidney
Halston lives her life with one simple rule: "Just Do
It"--Nike. And that's exactly what she did.
After working hard as an attorney, Sidney picked up a pen for the first time at thirty years old to begin her dream of writing. Having never written anything other than very exciting legal briefs, she found an outlet for her imaginative, romantic side and wrote Seeing Red. That first pen stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Sidney lives in South Florida with her husband and children. She loves her family above all else, and reading follows a close second. When she's not writing, you can find her reading and reading and reading. She's a reader first and a writer second. When she's not writing or reading, her life is complete and utter chaos, trying to balance family life with work and writing (and reading). But she wouldn't have it any other way.
