Taken Down
Reed Security Book Three
I’ll admit we didn’t get off on the right foot. She caught me dancing on
the job. Then, she caught her boyfriend in a… let’s call it a
compromising position with a tattoo client. My effort to diffuse the
situation probably looked like I was choosing his side, and when I gave a
questionable compliment, I may have made a bad situation worse.
My social ineptitude aside, I think Jasmine is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
Yeah, she doesn’t like me much, but the time comes when she does need me.
I’ll
admit I’m not a typical hero. I don’t go on military missions, run into
burning buildings, or shoot enemies from far away – well, unless video
games count. My weapon of choice is my laptop’s keyboard. Unfortunately,
girls don’t flock to the quirky guy with ADHD and three post-grad
degrees.
However, this girl doesn’t need the stereotypical hero.
She needs me and my skills. I find I want to be her hero. I want to
rescue her from all the bad things that have happened in her world and
lay the future at her feet. I just have to convince her to trust me,
especially since her life just might depend on it.
