Owens Protective Services Volume 1

In The Trenches

Cash Owens-owner of Owens Protective Services, former sniper in the military, and a man just a little too in love with his rifle Sally.

Owning a business hasn't adjusted him to civilian life any more than the next Marine. He surrounds himself with men who are just as ready to throw down as he is, from his resident show tune-loving, knife-wielding psychopath to the man with better organizational skills than any office supply store to his EOD expert with a penchant for blowing things up.

But when a terrorist threat lands the team in a bit of hot water, it'll take more than their great personalities and unique skill sets to get them out of the mess they find themselves in.

Nuclear Option

The military defines a Nuclear Option as a drastic step or last resort, and I'm about to take it.

I am an expert marksman, engaging the enemy from afar.

You'll never see me coming because I'm that good.

Even a sniper can be drawn out of hiding.

Pull the right strings and eventually you'll see my face.

But it'll be the last thing you ever do.

I take warnings for what they actually are-a threat of war.

I will defend those I love and the team I surround myself with.

I will use my specialized training to take you down.

I will make you regret ever coming after me.

There is no world in which I exist that I'll let you live.

And threatening the woman I love is the worst mistake you ever made.

Mummies.

Yeah, you heard me right. That's my next job-protecting a mummy.

It wouldn't be a problem, except someone doesn't want this particular mummy to make it to the museum.

Not to mention one of my teammates thinks this particular mummy is cursed.

On top of this ridiculous job, I've also met the most gorgeous woman in the world.

Except, she's anti-gun, anti-meat, anti-everything that makes me who I am. And she's from California.

And she's a screenwriter with absolutely zero experience, writing a story with a ton of action.

But the worst part is how excited everyone at OPS is to help her. Fox, New Guy...even Brock has decided to take up a career in acting.

I would walk away, but despite the fact that she's from California, I find myself needing to be with her. She's more than she seems, and I'm determined to find out every last detail before she gets blown up trying to learn about explosives.

I just have to keep IRIS away from her.
