out here prowling,” she said, nearly spitting at Jace.
    Was she calling him a beast? He almost chuckled. As he stared down at her face and the display of skin, he realized she had one hell of a body. This reaction bothered him. He avoided women all the time. He barely socialized, and when he did, he was filled with nastiness.
    “You have a license to carry this?” Beck asked, holding her gaze.
    “Yes, I do have a license to carry it.”
    “Do you know how to use it?” Beck pushed.
    “Yes, I do, want me to show ya?” she asked, filled with spunk. She pushed against Jace’s hold on her and Jace looked at Beck.
    “Let her up. We’ll get to the bottom of this immediately,” he said.
    When Jace let her up, stood, and offered her his hand, she slapped it away, turned to the left, and jumped up. She had a great ass, too. Damn, who was this woman?
    She held out her hand to Beck. “Gun, please,” she demanded.
    “Not yet. I need to confirm you have a license to carry.”
    Her mouth gaped open. “Confirm I have a license to carry? What about him? How do I know he has a license to carry that? He came at me first.”
    “You’re dressed all in black running through my woods on my property,” Jace stated firmly, stepping toward her. She didn’t retreat, but stepped closer and pointed at him.
    “I was protecting myself. I don’t know who the hell you are, so if you pull a gun on me, then I pull one on you. Be happy I didn’t pull the trigger.”
    “No, you be happy I didn’t pull the trigger and blow your pretty little head off,” he snapped back.
    “Be happy neither of you pulled the trigger, because neither of you are enemies or criminals. Jesus, someone could have been shot or hurt badly,” Beck intervened as the voice of reason.
    Jace stared at her and she stared right back with attitude. He should have walked away right then, but he couldn’t. Those damn eyes and that body. Shit, his dick was so fucking hard. He was completely turned on right now.
    “I’m calling the sheriff to confirm your license to carry.”
    “What about him?”
    “He’s got a license,” Beck replied as he dialed the number on his cell phone.
    “How do I know that? I don’t even know you, except that you’re Ridge’s brother.”
    “This is our other brother, Jace. Retired Green Beret, like the rest of us. He’s more than trained, honey. He’s a lethal weapon.”
    Valentina’s eyes widened and then she looked Jace over. He hadn’t thought that expression would affect him, but damn if the woman was hot and getting hotter by the second. Who was she? Where did she come from? Why the fuck did he care?
    “Green Beret or not, he’s just as wrong for pulling a weapon on me.”
    “You pulled on me first.”
    “Damn straight,” she said back and then looked at Beck as she heard him saying that they would ‘be at the house when he got there.’

    Standing on the front porch steps, Valentina was tapping her foot as they waited for the sheriff to arrive. Ridge joined them, and another guy came out the front door.
    “What in God’s name is going on?” Sparrow asked, looking her over. She had pulled off her hoodie, and Beck had offered her a bottle of cold water.
    “Your new tenant pulled a gun on me in the woods.” Jace snapped. Sparrow was a big guy who looked like he was the oldest and the meanest of the brothers, except maybe for Jace. He was a jerk and a half with a bad attitude.
    “A gun? What the fuck are you doing with a gun? You could shoot yourself!” Sparrow yelled.
    She chuckled and then crossed her arms and turned away from them as she saw the sheriff’s patrol truck coming down the long road before their driveway. It would take him another thirty seconds or so to arrive.
    “Did she just turn her back on me?” Sparrow asked, his tone harsh and almost firm enough to make her turn back. God, these military men were a force.
    “Sure did. She’s crazy I’m telling you. Could shoot any of us if
