Otherwise Unharmed
by

Synopsis:
After Evan Arden was imprisoned by
the enemy for a year and a half, he returned from the desert as a military
hero. He’d suffered some minor injuries
during his captivity, was discharged from the Marines with a touch of
shellshock, but was considered otherwise unharmed. Now he wonders how he ended up where he
is—incarcerated in Chicago’s Metropolitan Correctional Center for using his
sharpshooting expertise to take out the neighborhood park with a high-powered
sniper rifle and multiple rounds of ammunition.
Lia Antonio, the woman he rescued
from the desert heat the previous year, is the only person who can bring him
out of his sleep-deprived psychosis and mounting PTSD. When she does, Evan knows he can’t just let
her go again. He’s never considered
leaving the business before—who retires from the mafia?—but he’s determined to
get both Lia and himself out of harm’s way.
Evan faces overwhelming forces from
multiple directions as a deal to get him out of jail turns more dangerous than
he imagined. With a mob war on the
horizon and the feds holding evidence over his head, Evan has no choice but to
throw himself into the middle of another warzone.
In his efforts to make things right,
Evan crosses the wrong man and finds himself on the business end of the
crosshairs. With his acute perception
and intelligence, he tries to stay a step ahead of his former co-workers, but
this time, it isn’t just his own life on the line—he’s got to protect Lia from
the man who once called him son.
{{Excerpt}}
I resisted the urge to
pull out the Beretta and shove it in his face.
“I assume I have you to
thank for all of this,” I muttered back.
“What the fuck do you want?”
“Just wanted to make
sure you weren’t packing up to leave town or anything stupid like that,” Trent
replied. “I also wanted to make sure you
realize I know exactly where you are and what you’re doing—at all times.”
I watched him
closely. He crossed his arms as he
leaned casually against the door—too
casually. He was making a point of
looking nonchalant, which meant he didn’t completely feel that way. My eyes searched for other clues about him,
but he was practiced in the art of being a complete and total asshole, which was
throwing me off my game.
In an attempt to gain
some ground, I snapped my fingers and pointed to Odin’s bed. He quickly moved from my side and went to his
place but continued to growl low at the federal agent.
“I told you I would
take care of it all,” I reminded him.
“Fuck off and let me do it.”
“You’re quite the
conversationalist,” he said with a snide laugh.
“I don’t converse with
feds,” I snapped back. I was immediately
pissed off at myself for letting him get to me.
“Just don’t forget to
take your dick out of your slut long enough to get your job done.”
I clenched my teeth and
glared, trying to keep myself from just walking over and beating the living
shit out of him. I had no doubt that
Johnson was nearby, and assaulting a fed in my apartment while I was out on bail
wasn’t the very best idea.
“Are you going to spend
a lot of time keeping me from getting shit done?” I asked through my teeth.
“I’m going to spend a
lot of time making sure you are
getting shit done,” Trent retorted. “If
I feel like you’re stalling, I’m going to take it out on her. What do you think of that?”
“I think that’s an
invitation to an underground party.”
We locked stares for a
long moment. Trent eventually cracked
half of an insincere smile and then nodded.
“I’ll be seeing you
around.” He turned and walked out the
door.
I dropped my ass on the
couch and rubbed my temples. Odin
assumed he was free to leave his bed because he came up and leaned his fuzzy
mug on my knee. I rubbed at his head and
tried to calm myself down a bit.
None of this was going
to work.
