“I cannot believe he walked away from that crash without so much as a scratch. There is some destiny yet to be fulfilled for Mason McKinnon. That is the only logical explanation as to why the man is still alive,” said a sports commentator during an interview on an amateur extreme sports show. Mason ignores the show playing on the television in the background and instead chooses to focus on the mission file in front of him as he sits across from his brother Robert, CEO of McKinnon-Bride Personal Security. Mason has always lived life on the edge, pushing the envelope. That is nothing new, and he likes it that way. He knows he is dangerously reckless in his private life and gives new meaning to the term daredevil, openly calling himself a widow maker. He certainly does not need the press or Robert’s personal assistant, Barbara Allen, to point that out to him every chance they get. However, when it comes to business Mason does not fool around, and when it comes to executing the plans of a mission there are few to match his skill set in the industry of personal security and hostage re-acquisition. The current mission requires the same level of precision as all the other past missions and then some. This time the life of ten-year-old Jesse McKinnon hangs in the balance, and his strike team is all that stands between her and certain death. Barbara Allen goes about her life giving the casual observer the impression that she is mousy, introverted, and unsophisticated. Using this to her advantage, her preference is to melt into the background. Life in the fast lane is certainly not for her, and she has for years feared that the fast lane is where Mason will meet his demise. Choosing to keep her personal life very private, most people, including Mason, know very little about her background. Little do they know that appearances are deceiving, and they are in for the shock of their lives. They’ll never see it coming.

Jamie trailed her fingernail from Josh’s collarbone to navel and back again. “Umm, I like a man with self-control,” she offered completely off the subject of exactly why she was at Seabridge and not safely tucked away in London protected by her bodyguards. “You’re pushing my outer limits, babe. But you know that don’t you?” Josh hardened himself against her tender assault. “Of course. I feel you. You want me. You also want to kill me. I can honestly say it is a very heady combination of sex and danger.” Part detective novel, part fantasy, Bones of Contention is Ranay James’ third and final installment of The McKinnon’s Legends—The American Men series. The arm of justice in a small West Texas county and former S.W.A.T. leader in Miami, Sheriff Josh McKinnon has experienced a lot when it comes to upholding the law. He thought he had already endured the worst in the last few years after his daughter was kidnapped, but little did he know his latest case was going to throw him yet another curveball and change his destiny in ways he could never have dreamed. Will he be able to enforce the law he was born to uphold and still be with the woman he loves? Dr. Jamie Gillman is not your average university professor. She is a renowned anthropologist who has a feel for the bones that is otherworldly to say the least. Not new to men and their obstacles, she initially wants to say ‘no’ to this charming lawman when he shows up at her lab asking for her help with a homicide investigation, but there’s just something about him that draws her in. Will she be forced to go against all logic to pursue the one man which Fate paradoxically preordained to be her mortal enemy and one great love of her life? Turn the page and see.
