Her Dark Justice – Felicity Brandon (1)

Caroline’s gaze flitted from Laurent to me. “You’re not using Adam as bait!” “But do you think it would work?” Laurent pressed. “I don’t know,” I replied honestly. “You’d have to tell me what you were considering in order for me to say anything more with any authority.” “There is a plan.” Akari sounded hesitant. “That we’d like your view on.” “Go on.” After ten minutes of batting concepts around the room, I sensed that whatever came next was the reason the three of them had flown in from The Hague.

“It might be possible to lure Jackson to international waters under the premise of your return,” Akari explained. “Call it the ‘Commander General’s homecoming’, ask the Swiss to arrange your extradition under the guise of their historic neutrality, and then, have you meet on the water.” “On water?” Skepticism echoed in my voice. “Why water? Switzerland is landlocked.” Ian wasn’t going to fall for anything that seemed out of the ordinary unless there was a bloody good motivation.

But perhaps his commander general arriving in a fanfare of jingoistic contrition would qualify as such. My return alone might not be enough to persuade him, but the pomp and ceremony might stroke his ego enough to sneak me through the door of reasonable doubt. “Water enables the second part of the plan,” Meyer prompted. “The Swiss can escort you to the Netherlands, where you’d leave by boat.”

“We would need Jackson out on the water to greet you,” Akari went on. “And once his ship drifts into French waters, the French authorities would be able to expedite the ICC’s warrant.” “You want him to take a boat out to meet and greet me?” I laughed out loud at the idea.

If that was the best strategy the ICC had come up with, then it looked as though I was looking down the barrel of a long stretch in a European prison. “No offense, but why would he bother? I was the one who left him, remember?” “Because of what you have already told us.”

Meyer’s grin was close to predatory as she collected the papers before her and waved them at me. “Jackson’s arrogance is so well-developed. We can hold it against him.” “How?”

https://www.subscribepage.com/FelicityBrandon OceanofPDF.com PROLOGUE Adam Harper Twenty-five years before the present day SIGNALING TO THE SERVER, I gestured for the blonde to cross the dancefloor to our table. The club around us was beginning to come alive, the dull thud of the bassline amplifying with each step she took, and by the time she was in the vicinity, she had to huddle close to hear my order.

“Hi.” I offered her a smile, and duly, her lips stretched wide in return. Blondes had never really been my type, but she had shimmering blue eyes that gleamed as she replied. “Hi there.” She leaned closer, revealing a tempting show of cleavage. “What can I get for you?” “Five whiskey chasers, please.” I motioned to my friends sitting around the circular table with me. “Coming right up.”

Writing down my request, she tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear. “Would you like those with or without my number?” My eyebrow arched at her direct approach. Blessed with dark looks and more than my share of charisma, I was used to female attention, but it was rare that the staff at the local gentlemen’s club paid me such compliments.
