“Nope,
just here to make sure you don2527t get in the house. Brianna is more than capable
of fighting her own battles.” Jackson stepped to the side, giving Brianna a
clear shot at Christopher.

Before he could take a step into her home, Jackson2527s arm
shot across the threshold. His muscled arms made Christopher2527s look like limp
noodles. His eyes widened while Jackson2527s smile broadened.

She arched a brow. “I didn2527t, and if you know anything about

“Us.” He tried to lean closer to her, but Jackson2527s arm

“You and I being together makes sense—”

Jackson2527s chuckles interrupted Christopher.
“What the hell is so funny?” He jabbed a finger at Jackson.
“You keep claiming a dead woman for your girlfriend. I2527ll
give you a piece of advice: you need to move on and get a life.”

Brianna hid her smile and cleared her throat of the chuckle
that wanted to escape. “As fun as it is to watch two guys go at it, I2527m
exhausted. So finish, Christopher, and then get off my porch.”

He raked his fingers through his blond hair. “Look, our

“No, I won2527t.” She was glad now to have been forgotten while
her grandmother and father had battled it out in the library. “Grandmother has
already signed controlling interest to another when she steps down. Hell, she2527s
already stepped most of the way down, and the man who2527s running it now will
keep it for his heirs.”

“She2527ll quickly fix that the second our names are joined.”
“No.” Brianna squinted at the asshole in front of her. “I2527m
not dating you, I2527m not marrying you, and I2527m not having this conversation. Get
the hell off my property.”

“You2527ll cave. You always do. Briony was the only one who

“And you2527ll marry me. It2527s what your parents want.”

“My grandmother is on my side—”
“Please. That bat will be declared incompetent, and then
your parents will take over. They2527ll reassign your grandmother2527s assets since
your parents and my parents both want this, and Briony and I wanted it. You2527re
falling in line, Brianna. And you2527ll learn to love it.” He stepped forward but
was stopped from touching her or crossing into her home by Jackson2527s bulk.

“What the fuck?” He laughed derisively. “This? This is what
you go for? Some over-sized meathead who doesn2527t have much of a pot to piss
in?”

Brianna growled. “He2527s more of a man than you, and he2527s got

Jackson hadn2527t left her if that was the best she could come up with. Jackson2527s

“With pleasure.” Jackson faced Christopher. “I2527m with the
Sheriff2527s Department, kid, so you will
vacate this property, or I will
arrest you.” Jackson leaned in. “Now, me, I hope you don2527t leave so I can
arrest you. Not having any cuffs on me, I2527m sure you2527ll resist. While Brianna
runs to get my badge and cuffs from the car, I might have to make sure you2527re
subdued, especially since I don2527t have any backup.”

Christopher2527s gaze raked across both of them.
Brianna squared her shoulders; she wasn2527t ashamed of
sleeping with Jackson. Compared to the handful of men Brianna had dated,
Jackson was smoking hot and in a category all his own.

Christopher chuckled harshly. “Guess you are more like your

“Guess I am,” she smirked and
nuzzled into Jackson’s side, sliding her hand over the hard plane of his chest.
“Gotta say, at least my taste is a hell of a lot better than hers.”

Briony screwed. You can spread your legs for every guy in town for all I care.
As long as the brat you pop passes a paternity test that names me as the dad,

chest. “Because I2527ll be doing the same.”

But Brianna was beyond pissed, she wanted the asshole gone.
She wanted him off her land never to return. Slamming her hand on the bottom of
the wall-mounted cabinet next to the door. She watched the secret shelf
unfolded with her twelve-gauge nestled inside. The cabinet was a gift from
Callie since she felt Brianna2527s gun needed to be downstairs, but Brianna hadn2527t
wanted to chance Callie2527s boys playing with it and hurting themselves. The hidden
compartment was the perfect solution, and the shelves came in handy to put the
small gifts of stones and leaves the boys gave her.

Jackson was dragging Christopher off the porch, but
Christopher put up a fight. To break up the standoff, Brianna cocked her
buckshot-filled gun with a loud clack. Both men froze and looked over at her.

“Now, I2527ve been neighborly and heard you out even though I
hate your guts.” Brianna leveled the gun at Christopher. “This can go one of a
few ways. Either you leave, Jackson arrests you, or I shoot you, and the
paramedics can cart you away. But the end result is you will be getting the
ever-loving-fuck off my property.”

Rage at him, even thinking she would bow down to him, made
her want to pull the trigger and fill him with buckshot. If she aimed just
right, she wouldn2527t kill him, only hurt him… a lot.

I write romantic adventures. Mostly, I live
vicariously through my characters. I can be a knife-wielding forager who saves
her family from deadly kidnappers or a slinky thief who must outmaneuver her
sadistic cousin. My male characters aren’t cookie cutter either. There’s so
much diversity in the world that one size does not fit all. It’s the same for
love. My male characters are diverse. I have several he-man, alpha types, but I
also have nerds in glasses who can kickass when needed, whether in a board room
or in a parking garage. I have characters who are blind and some who have lost
a limb putting their lives on the line to save others.
