But sometimes the past had a way of clinging on…
“The next sixteen months, but under the provision that I come on if I’m requested.”
Meaning he would answer only if the order came from him...
Seemed the mercenary had turned over a new leaf.
“I’ll add it to the books.”
Nodding, Red’s eyes shifted to the chessboard that resets between Uilleam and the opposite chair. He probably wondered who Uilleam’s opposition was, but he much preferred to play the game alone, like seeing into his own mind.
No pieces had been moved, the board still untouched.
It only remained that way, however, until Red rounded the corner and disappeared.
One he was out of sight, Uilleam shifted forward in his seat, picking up one of the crystal pawns and moved it forward two spaces.
It was time.
The game was on.
Acknowledgments
First, I would like to thank you, the readers, for all the support and the love you show me with each book that I release. I can’t wait to delve deeper into the world of the mercenaries. The next book in the series will be Celt’s. Just wait until you see what that Irishman gets up to.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Bethany-Kris. Seriously, this book wouldn’t be finished without her. She’s one of the kindest, greatest, and one of the overall best people I know. If I could only ever have one friend, I would choose her, hands down.
H, not only did you make me your wife, but you didn’t get annoyed with me when I spent some of our honeymoon working on Red.—then again, you also knew who you were marrying. Lol. I love you with all of my heart!
I would also like to thank Marissa at Sizzling PR for the edits. I was between a rock and a hard place, and you came through. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
