Mark finished his third conference call of the day and sat back with a satisfied smile. He’d managed to sign two more important, high-profile clients already today and this third one seemed like a good bet as well. Things were going well for Brothers In Arms. Going well for him personally too, considering his night with Geneva. The chemistry between them and the way she responded to his every touch was amazing. Hell, if he didn’t know better, he’d think they were meant to be together.

Inhaling deep, he sat forward again. Except he did know better.

Frowning, he shuffled the papers on his desk. The sooner he remembered that and focused on what he needed to do—keep an eye on Geneva and what she was writing about while she was here; continue to investigate the murder/suicides of his friends; figure out who the hell had cut his brake lines the other night—the better off he’d be.

He and Geneva were fuck buddies during her stay in Ortega, nothing more. She’d made that clear last night when she’d left the comfort of his arms to sleep alone in the guest bedroom. No matter how compatible they might be in the sack. Mark finished up the contracts he’d filled out for the new clients, then closed the documents on his computer and opened his work email.

There at the top of the queue was a daily digest newsletter from the National Tribune.

Clicking it open, Mark flicked through the articles on his screen. Updates from the wars in the Middle East and northern Africa, today’s weather, stock reports, and horoscopes. Near the bottom was the special interest section. He glanced at the top headline in the box then did a double take.

Top Private Security-Training Firm Brothers In Arms—Help or Hoax?

What the actual fuck?

The article, dated two days prior to when he’d first seen Geneva in the parking lot at Scoops, read like a copy and paste smear campaign of every false rumor and bad review on the Internet. It called into question his hiring practices for having taken on two recent employees who later committed suicide, then linked that to Geneva’s stated agenda regarding the military’s disregard for the mental health of its soldiers. The article even managed to tie things in with the death of Geneva’s own brother, Jaime. By the time he’d finished the article, Mark was seething.

Where was the other side of the story, the true side of the story?

His company was expected to top one million dollars in profit that year and Mark made sure they donated to charity appropriately for their blessings. Where the hell was that information in that snide little article, huh? Where was the fact he and the guys routinely volunteered for Habitat for Humanity and at the local children’s hospital? Nowhere, that’s where. Because this article wasn’t about doing good or seeing good in others.

This article was to sell papers. Period.

“Shit.” Feeling pissed and betrayed, Mark shut down his laptop then charged out of his office to walk the perimeter of the grounds.
