Blade's Edge

JasperThe explosion should have killed me. Some days, I wish it had. Chronic pain keeps me up at night—when I don't drown it in beer. I lost my partner, my career, and the only reason I had to get up in the morning.Until my brother drags me to a charity event and a sexy-as-sin reporter practically falls in my lap. We shouldn't start anything. I'm a broken-down has been and she's doing her damnedest to move back to Los Angeles. But when her latest scoop leads to death threats, I'll do anything to keep her safe.EmiMoving back to Austin was supposed to be temporary. My grandmother was dying, and I couldn't let her be alone. But a year away from network news might as well be a lifetime. Especially when you're pushing forty. If I don't get back into the national spotlight soon, the only stories I'll be covering are cat adoption events and cheating scandals at the local senior center.So when I hit on the biggest story of my career, I should keep my eyes on the prize. Not go on a date with a former Texas Ranger who has every right to hate me.I won't let a little danger keep me from the truth. But what if Jasper's the one who pays the price?
