Get It Now!
I invite you to meet
Ross Adler—the ultimate bad boy. Ross's story is a harsh one,
because Ross is harsh man. His biggest fear is to be vulnerable
emotionally, and he does everything he can to avoid such
entanglements. He is only half successful, however, and you'll find
that he is far more vulnerable than he would ever admit.
Excerpt:
Ross didn't like being led around by
anyone or anything. He'd had enough of that when he was in the
Marines. There was always some snot-nosed captain who had some
unrealistic expectation for his special ops unit. By the time Ross
made twenty-five years in SOP and had reached the highest rank he
thought he could achieve in the non-commissioned corps, he'd had
enough. His recon and infiltration skills had been very useful when
he chose to take mercenary work all over the Middle East after
leaving the service, so he couldn't knock those long and colorful
years in the military.
But, at the same time, he had
nightmares still, even after five years out of the military. He'd
done some things as a Marine that would make the average person run
screaming from the room. They were necessary things and he'd loved it
at the time. It was exciting, dangerous and, for some of his fellow
unit soldiers, lethal. The nightmares, though, he could happily do
without.
Before waking, he often dreamed about
the hostages they'd covertly released. Sometimes those people were in
very bad shape. They were broken and embarrassingly grateful for
being released from hell.
