About An Indecent Affair Part V:
Kat had seen it coming. She should’ve known better. A relationship with two men would never work. But she’d let herself hope. And now the pain of failure is crushing.
Tristan and Adam are trying their damnedest to make things right and win Kat back but family, work and the fraying of their once-solid friendship are taking their toll.
When the dust clears, will Kat, Tristan and Adam be able to rebuild? Or will everything they’ve worked so hard for come crashing down around them?

Excerpt:
“Did you enjoy being in the army?”
A flicker of surprise crossed Adam’s expression. “Yeah, I did. And I was good at it.”
“Because he’s a sneaky bastard.” Tristan deliberately needled Adam. “And he’s a decent shot.”
Adam’s mouth curved in a grin. “Better shot than you.”
Tristan rolled his eyes. “Now you’re just fooling yourself.”
Kat smiled, watching their banter as if it were a tennis match. Sliding off her shoes, she tucked her legs under her and leaned back in the chair. As she resettled, she noticed both men return their attention to her.
“How did you meet?”
Her curiosity grew, fueled by the interplay between them. They knew each other so well, they’d developed a shorthand. She wanted to learn it, wanted to be on the inside with them.
When Tristan smiled at her, she felt drawn inside that small circle.
“When the newly minted Second Lieutenant got assigned to my platoon.” Adam’s smile widened. “Fresh out of West Point and already a Grade-A prick.”
Tristan didn’t look at all offended by Adam’s dig. “I may have had a somewhat elevated opinion of myself at the time.”
“Lucky for us, you proved yourself in the desert.”
She knew they’d served in the Middle East for several years, but it had been more of an abstract concept than a fact. Now, her stomach clutched at the thought that one or both of them could have been killed. Which was ridiculous because they were here now. Safe and sound.
But would they always be?
“Can I ask about your work?”
She had their complete attention again, their focus a little unnerving. Adam’s so intense, Tristan’s so…inviting.
He nodded. “Of course.”
“We just need you to understand that we have confidentiality issues,” Adam interjected. “Just like you do with clients.”
She nodded. “I understand. So…what exactly do you do?”
“We run a private security firm.” Tristan’s tone implied it was that simple. Which she knew it wasn’t, thanks to the DeMarcos.
“Which means…”
Tristan paused to think about his answer, but Adam leaned forward, tapping his finger on the table to get her attention.
“Maybe you should tell us what you already know. Then we’ll fill in the holes.”
Would they understand that she’d had them investigated only because she was curious about them? And not that she was prying into their business? Was there even a distinction to be made there?
“I know you provide security services, but you also do something called kidnap and recovery.”
Adam’s eyebrows rose but he didn’t look surprised. “That’s not something we put on our website.”
“I didn’t get that from your website.”
“No, you had us investigated.”
Adam didn’t sound angry so she nodded. How would they take that?
A second later, Adam’s lips curled in a tiny grin and Tristan outright laughed.
“Good for you, sweetheart,” Adam murmured. “Another woman would’ve just taken us at our word.”
“I like to know who I’m dealing with.”
“Good policy to have.” Tristan cocked his head to the side then, his gaze narrowing. “And did you get the answers you were looking for?”
“Not really, no.”
Tristan spread his hands and leaned back in his chair. “Then go ahead and ask. Anything you want.”
