- Jagged Edge: The Arsenal, #1
1
Mary "The Edge" Reynolds is the most sought-after back office operative around-the creative genius pulling the ultimate bad-asses out of impossible situations. She's never failed on a mission, and she's not about to fail on the most important mission ever-keeping her newly designed security system safe. Relying on others isn't in her nature, but the newly formed Arsenal is her only hope for escape when she's kidnapped. She is the Edge. The Edge never breaks. Never quits. Dylan Mason and his brothers have put everything on the line to form The Arsenal. When the paramilitary arena is rocked by Edge's capture, he'll do whatever it takes to get the fearless operative back, but his wary heart isn't ready to handle the vulnerable woman buried beneath the hardened shell. Getting her back was simple. Keeping her and her "security system" HERA out of enemy hands is another story. Together they must hunt down the faction behind her capture and subsequent torture to keep HERA from becoming an unstoppable terroristic threat. What they uncover could destroy them both.

He's sworn to find his son. Dallas Mason did whatever was necessary to survive his stint in black ops. While in the Collective, there was no line he wouldn't cross, and no mission he wouldn't take. He bedded the enemy to secure his freedom and return to his brothers and build a new life, where the lines between right and wrong are sometimes blurred, but never erased. Now he and everyone at The Arsenal has one mission: find his son. His family and team will stop at nothing to achieve the goal—including sidelining Dallas from the hunt. She's sworn to find her father's killer. Kamren Garrett learned to rely on no one long ago. Surrounded by enemies, and surviving in hostile territory is nothing new for her. She can outshoot, outhunt, and out track anyone. She doesn't need a Mason dictating what she can and can't do to uncover the secrets of her father's death. Dallas thinks she's the problem. She doesn't have time to handle him. She's close to identifying her quarry. Unfortunately, she discovers she's over her head and in need of help and she turns to the last people she ever wanted to ask—Dallas Mason. Forced to take a step back from his true objective, Dallas sets his sights on fixing the problems threatening his son's future home. Teamed with Kamren, he'll uncover more than they expected. Failure isn't an option when it comes to blood vows.

He's vowed to keep her safe, but she's part of the Quillery Edge. They never quit. They never surrender. They never let anyone stand between them and their quarry. He had one rule: Don't mess with his family. Judson Jensen's lived a solitary life taking down targets no one else dared touch. The bastards he's wasted twenty years working for took his brother. The choice was supposed to be simple—neutralize the Quillery Edge or your brother dies. Unfortunately for them he had another choice—take them down.
