The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 853

Shaun blinked, taken aback. "Ms. Sloan, what are you doing?"

The mercenary team had worked with Callahan plenty of times in the past—which was exactly why they’d been hired for this escort mission—but this was their first time meeting Leilani. None of them had a clue she was a doctor. Shaun didn’t want to disrespect his employer's companion, but his brother was dying. If a massive dose of epinephrine hadn't worked, what the hell were a few flimsy needles going to do?

The doubt was mirrored on the faces of every other man in the unit.

Tate, who was fiercely protective of Konrad, was the first to snap. "Ms. Sloan! Konrad is dying! This isn't the time to play make-believe to impress the boss!"

In his line of work, Tate had seen his fair share of wealthy clients bringing along their pampered girlfriends who wanted to play the hero, often costing men their lives. He wasn't about to let that happen to Konrad.

Furious, Tate reached out to physically shove Leilani away from his friend.

But before his hand could even brush her shoulder, a shadow moved.
