My name is Tess Reynolds, and I’ll admit few people would think I’m a badass Army sniper called the Scorpion. Afterall, women snipers were unheard of in 1990. People look at me and see a petite blonde who is cute as a button. My father calls it my natural camouflage.
My time in the Middle East has been full of unforeseen complications. I have a rogue CIA agent trying to kill me and I caught the attention of a Force Recon Marine by the name of Alexander Stone. Wowzer! He’s hot but he’s also the biggest jackass I have ever met. To make things even more interesting, I need the Jackass’s help to stay alive.

Excerpt
The smell from the mess hall drew me like a magnet. I was having one of everything. Grabbing a tray, I went down the line until there was no more room on my plate.
A soldier eyed my tray in disbelief. “Are you sure you’ve got enough food?”
“Nope, I’m coming back for seconds.” I carried my tray over to an empty table and started eating.
“On your feet soldier,” Sergeant Stone growled.
Well, hell. I plastered a confused look on my face and looked up at him. “Excuse me?”
“Drop the act. You know why I’m here.”
“Sorry, but I don’t.” I went back to eating.
Sergeant Stone studied my face. “Are you the Scorpion?”
I picked up my glass of water and drained it.
“Answer the question.”
“By your stench, you’ve been out in the sun too long. Maybe you should have a medic check you over for heat stroke. It might explain your mental confusion too,” I said pleasantly.
“I could have you arrested for assault,” Sergeant Stone snapped.
I raised my eyebrows. “Got any proof of this brutal assault, sergeant? Like a picture or fingerprints or some kind of hard evidence?”
“Footprints.”
Shit! Shit! Shit! “Call me curious, but who did I assault?”
His lips twisted in self-mockery. “Me.”
“Un huh, and where did this horrible assault occur?
“The village of Tarin Kowt.”
“Never heard of it.” I took a big bite of chocolate cake. God, it tasted so good.
“You’re the blonde midget we’ve been tracking for the last two days, and I can prove it.”
Midget? That was kinda rude. “I’m not the person you’re looking for.”
“Yes, you are. Now get up. You are coming with me.”
“No.” I shoveled more food in my mouth.
About the Author
I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher for the Glendale Police Department and to keep from going totally bonkers – I mean people have no idea what a real emergency is. Take this for example: I answered, “9-1-1 emergency, what’s your emergency?” And this hysterical woman yelled, “My bird is in a tree.” Sometimes I really couldn’t help myself, so I said, “Birds have a tendency to do that, ma’am.” The woman screeched, “No! You don’t understand. My pet parakeet is in the tree. I’ve just got to get him down.” Like I said, not a clue. “I’m sorry ma’am but we don’t get birds out of trees.” The woman then cried, “But… What about my husband? He’s up there, too.” See what I had to deal with? To keep from hitting myself repeatedly in the head with my phone I took up writing.
