Tommy Rich: Defendes MC Series Book 7 (Defenders MC Series) by Amanda Anderson Page A

to let us know this shit Tommy?  The way you talked about it last time it was like it was no big deal.”
    “I thought I could handle it.  She’s just a woman.”
    “You got a lot to learn about women boy.  I have to say I am impressed with you.  Showed balls going after her like that.”  He let a sigh pass his lips.  “We told Marty she was dead.  She wasn’t our problem, but Marty would have raised hell.”
    “Shit that could cause a problem.  What about Mike?”
    “He knows that we aren’t sure about her, but agrees it’s best for Marty to think they killed her.  Think we need to put her in the ground.”
    “I have to think it might have been best if they had.”
    “Who knows?”
    “Just the brothers who are here with me.  We can take care of it if we need to.”  Tommy assured him.
    Preach was quiet and that never boded well.
    “Why now?  What changed?”
    Tommy grimaced.  “She’s not just threatening me now.”
    “Mina.”  It wasn’t a question.  “Knew there was something with that woman.  What did the redhead say and what the fuck is going on with the two of you?”
    “She’s following Willa, Mina, and said she knew I still wanted her.”
    “We need eyes on that girl.  She’s Ink’s family and if I’m not bad wrong she will be yours before too long.  I’ll get someone on this.  Oscar maybe.”
    “Not fucking Oscar.  Damn it Preach, he’s an idiot.”
    “Fuck.  He is a worthless little shit.  I’ll find somebody.  Shad or Spec will be in touch.  Get rid of your phone.”
    The line went dead and Tommy let out a breath.  This would be taken care of.  He had to let the brothers do their thing.  He was too far away to do anything right now, but his brothers had his back.  That’s what brothers did.  That’s what family was all about.
    “Let’s get the hell out of here.  I want to be home by this weekend.”  He said as he made his way back to his bike.
    The boys let out a yell and revved their bikes.  He wanted to get this shit done so he could figure out what was going on with Willa, but he knew one thing, that fucker with her better watch his ass if he let anything happen to her.

    Mina hated feeling haunted.  She’d talked with the officer that had taken her report and he hadn’t been able to figure it out, but decided it was definitely cut on purpose.  His conclusion was that it might be the work of kids since she had no enemies. 
    Boy that made her feel safer.
    She climbed out of her car and scanned the area.  The parking lot was well lit, but she felt eyes on her.
    “Has to be my imagination.”  She mumbled as she walked toward her building. 
    Dr. Bower had found a woman to assist Missy in the office and Missy had been overjoyed.  The woman had seemed nice enough.  Her name was Nina Chance and Mina had forced herself not to laugh.  Can’t pick your name after all.  Nina’s parents had apparently had a pretty good sense of humor.
    Dr. Bower had insisted on having a mini office party to welcome the woman and Mina had volunteered to stay to help clean up after.  The extra hour had apparently been more taxing than she had anticipated and she was dreading her date with Tanner.  She thought about calling to cancel when she saw his silver jeep pull into the lot and park beside her car.
    “So much for that idea.”  She mumbled and turned with a smile and waved.
    “You’re early!  I haven’t even been inside yet.  You will have to come up and wait for me to get ready.”
    He jogged to her, his green eyes dancing as he reached her.
    “I don’t mind.”  He ran his fingers down her face.  “You look beautiful Mina.”  His finger traced just under her eye.  “A little tired tonight?”
    Mina felt herself relax.  “A little.”
    “We can just stay in if you’d rather.”  He kissed the tip of her nose.
    “I’d like that.  You don’t mind?”
    He smiled warmly down at her.  “I don’t mind.  I’ve been
