Feisty Lawyers Book 4
by Seelie Kay
Genre: Romantic Suspense, Contemporary Romance
Publisher: eXtasy Books Inc
Publication Date: October 4, 2019
No one knows what they’re made of until they’re broken. At the tender
age of twenty-two, Hope Ali has finally joined the organization of her dreams, the Agency, an elite group
of attorneys who go undercover to right wrongs the law can’t. The requirements are stringent, the training
exhausting.
After seeking asylum in the United States when she was sixteen, Hope
and her father, Sheikh Harun Ali, settled in a quiet Wisconsin town, hiding from those who had placed a
price on their heads. Still, she excelled, finishing her university and law school education by the time she
was twenty-one.
Now, after breezing through the Agency training program, Hope appears
to be indestructible—until she is assigned a simple task during the rescue of an author among the
disappeared in the UAE. The task? To distract the woman’s captors until she can be spirited out of the
country.
Unfortunately, a member of MISix has other plans. In an attempt to
disrupt the Agency’s mission, she tips off one of Hope’s enemies, alerting them to her location. Hope
manages to lead the author’s captors on a merry dance, freeing others to rescue her, until she is
unexpectedly confronted with a violent angry mob intent on harm.
She is left bloody and broken. No one knows whether Hope’s body or her
mind will heal. Suddenly Hope is no longer just her name. It is also the one thing she must embrace to
find her new normal.

Hope stared at the pit full of ice, then gazed at Dianna. “You want me to do what?”
Dianna smiled. “This is your new obstacle course. It’s called The Ballbuster. Obviously, the other
one wasn’t challenging enough for you, so I thought we’d try something else.” She smirked. “What’s
the matter, not up to it, Probie?”
Hope scowled. “I thought you were my friend.”
“When you’re on Agency grounds, I’m your trainer and mentor first. You know that, Hope. My
job is to make sure that when in the field, you can overcome every obstacle. Failure isn’t an option.
Failure could mean death.”
Hope snapped, “Don’t you think I know that? God, everyone seems duty-bound to remind me of
that every damn day. I’m not a child. I know my limits. I know my weaknesses. You don’t have to
bludgeon me over the head with a cudgel.”
Dianna’s expression hardened. “Here’s the thing, Hope. The second you begin to believe that you
can overcome every obstacle put in front of you is the day you should quit. Confidence is one thing.
Feeling that you’re omniscient is another. Out in the field, fear is what drives you, and it could very
well be what saves you. I don’t need you taking stupid chances because you think you’re Wonder
Woman, able to thwart every threat. I need you to calmly assess each situation and rationally weigh
the risks. You need to know when to walk away. Just as you need to know when a risk is worth
taking. You have no real superpowers, woman. And you need to remember that. That’s why you’re on
probation until we’re confident you can survive, Probie.
“This job isn’t about physical skill. It’s about being able to clearly, quickly, and competently
analyze the risks. What I see right now is a young woman without fear, willing to take on any
roadblock. I need you to recognize your limits and work around them. There is no shame in admitting
defeat. And there most definitely is no shame in asking for help. That’s why each obstacle has a kill
bell. Hit that and the exercise stops.”
“And then what,” Hope muttered. “I get kicked out?”
“No, then we step in and help. This Agency leaves no man or woman behind, Hope. They proved
that to me when I was sent to Bolivia. The minute I sent out the Bat Signal, they began putting
together a team to extract me. They saved my life.”
Weather-based and other natural disasters are increasing in frequency – and severity. The result is more and more people impacted and even displaced by extreme weather and natural disasters. Along with 72-hour emergency kits, FEMA recommends that families be prepared with a 2-week supply of food, water and other essentials (https://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/f&web.pdf).
Every family needs to be prepared for the inevitable unforeseen circumstance, especially when it comes to stocking up on emergency essentials. Although no one can prevent or avoid unexpected events, everyone should prepare for them. While other emergency food options fall far short of nationally recommended caloric content, Emergency Essentials created its own certification: the Quality Survival Standards™ (QSS™). QSS-certified meals are guaranteed to contain a minimum of 1,800 calories and 40 grams of protein (per person, per day), and often provide far more. That’s why the 2-Week Be Prepared Survival in a Pail kit from Emergency Essentials is the country’s go-to 2-week survival kit. It delivers the basics families need for 14 days, featuring delicious and nutritious chef-crafted meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a shelf life for up to 25 years – plus all the required cooking gear to cook the meals…an 80-gallon, heavy duty survival grade water filter for food rehydration and drinking…and life-saving supplies for warmth and weather-protection. Be Prepared Emergency Essentials has established itself as a national leader in emergency preparedness for good reason. Families across the country have come to depend on Be Prepared Emergency Essentials and the company’s popular2-Week Survival in a Pail kit for the highest quality, stored-to-last emergency foods – healthy entrees that are easily prepared in only a matter of minutes and packaged in durable containers to withstand a major event.
I live in southwestern Pennsylvania where we can experience all 4 seasons in the same week. We can have 92 degrees with 90% humidity in August then -10 with 3 week old ice on the ground in February.
In the winter it can be hard to leave the house because of the cold and ice. Sometimes ice accumulation on the power lines will cause a line snap. Car accidents causing utility poles to go down is another thing that happens. So I ask myself, with a family of 6, what do we do if we have another “snowpocalypse” lose power for days? Cooking would be difficult, heating the house would be hard, leaving the house would be hard.
Each area of the country has their own real disaster threats: floods, hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, etc. How would you prepare in an emergency?
BePrepared Emergency Essentials Kits give you almost everything you need to survive including food kits, cooking utensils, fire starters, water purifier, and more.
We received the 2 week survival in a pail emergency kit. It contains enough food and supplies for 2 weeks. While it does not include water it does include and water filtration system. BePrepared Emergency Essentials does offer kit that contain water as well.
The BePrepared 2 Week Survival in a Pail is an easy grab and go kit for a true emergency situation. It has a variety of dehydrated foods. My son helped me do an unboxing video of the kit so you can see everything included:
How do you think you or someone you know could use this kit? Products from BePrepared.com are great for the survivalist, adventurer, or outdoor enthusiasts.

Robert Powell’s work as a spy saves the Cabinet ministers from a
gruesome death and wins him accolades from George IV. As a reward, the king grants him a baronetcy
and a much-deserved holiday at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton where he thinks to indulge in brandy,
cards, good horseflesh and women.
But when Muriel, Dowager Countess of Claremont, learns of Sir Robert’s
intended destination, she begs a favor…to watch over an “errant child” who is the grandniece of her
good friend living in the resort town. Little does Robbie know that Miss Chastity Reynolds is no child but
a beautiful hoyden who is seemingly immune to his charms.
Chastity lives in the shadow of her mother and sisters, dark-haired
beauties men admire. Her first Season was a failure but, as she will soon come into a family legacy, she
has no need to wed. When she first encounters Sir Robert, she dubs him The Rogue, certain he indulges
in a profligate lifestyle she wants no part in.
In Brighton, Robbie discovers he is being followed by friends of the
conspirators who had planned to murder the Cabinet. Worse, they know the location of Chastity’s
residence.

Grillon’s Hotel, London, 1820
“I’ll return in a moment,” said Chastity as she rose from the table where she and Rose dined in their shared
room.
Rose looked up, her fork paused in midair. “Are you going out…alone? You’re not dressed for town.”
Chastity considered her drab brown cotton gown that she had changed into thinking she would remain in their
room. “No one will see me save the desk clerk to whom I will direct my inquiry.” The carriage ride to London had
been plagued with muddy roads and much rain, and the drafty lobby had left her chilled. The fire kindled for them
had begun to warm her but a glass of sherry would go far to completing the process.
“Do you wish me to accompany you?” Rose cast a look of longing at what remained of her braised veal.
“Nay finish your meal,” Chastity said, crossing the room to the door.
“Hurry back,” urged Rose. “I peeked under the silver dome that hides the sweetmeats. A most delectable
selection.”
“They will go well with what I have in mind.” As she reached for the door handle, Crispin, who had been curled
up before the fire, raised his head and opened his golden eyes briefly considering her before returning to his nap.
The bumpy carriage ride to London had not been to his liking either.
Closing the door behind her, Chastity entered the corridor devoid of heat. She drew her shawl tightly around her
and hurried downstairs to the lobby. She was dismayed to find no one at the front desk.
A single footman stood just inside the hotel’s entrance. She hastened toward him. As she did, she collided with
a hard body, the impact forcing the air from her lungs. Stunned, she backed away, trying not to fall. With her eyes
downcast, she placed her hand over her racing heart.
The first thing she noticed as she looked up from the tiled floor was a pair of black Hessian boots polished to a
high gloss with a silver-white braid circling the top, ending in shimmering tassels. Boots that could only have been
the creation of George Hoby, the first bootmaker in London, who had acquired a few of her father’s designs.
From the boots, her gaze traveled up long, muscular thighs encased in tight buckskin breeches. Hands fisted on
narrow hips and an impatient sigh suggested he thought her in the wrong.
Impudent man! Oaf! He had run into her!
Her scrutiny continued up to the black claw-hammer coat he wore over a cinnamon suede waistcoat. His cravat
was simply tied yet stylish.
“Well, Miss, have you had your fill of me?” he said in an amused tone.
Chastity met hazel eyes rimmed with green and pierced with shards of gold. A chiseled face with a strong jaw
was framed by wavy dark brown hair and trim side-whiskers. Altogether an attractive man if she didn’t consider his
smirk.
She could not abide men who thought themselves desired by all females, which he clearly did.
“What?” she said, her voice dripping sarcasm. “Is there to be no apology, no begging my forgiveness for nearly
knocking a lady off her feet?”
“A lady?” His gaze boldly traveled the length of her. “If you be a lady, you are a very pretty lady, indeed.”
She glared at him, dismissing his compliment as insincere, one he likely gave to all women to whom he liberally
doled out his charm. She would not be diverted by such undeserved flattery. “Pretty or plain makes no difference,
sir. A gentleman who causes distress to a lady will make amends.”
“Not to put too fine a point on it, Miss, but whatever were you thinking darting across the lobby without a care of
where you were going?”
So, there was to be no apology. Worse, a scold. “I knew very well where I was going, sir. It was you who
apparently did not.”
“Very well,” he inclined his head, “if you insist. Allow me to make amends.”
Without warning, he took her by the waist and forcibly drew her to his chest, pressing his lips to hers in a
burning, invasive kiss that left her breathless and her lips throbbing.
When he finally released her, she backed away, stunned, and covered her pulsing lips with her fingertips. Never
had she been kissed in such a manner. And in front of a footman!
Before she could say a word, the arrogant rogue turned on his heels, crossed the lobby and disappeared
through the door to the coffee house. The scent of cigar smoke wafted to her nostrils, making her grateful she had
no business there.
Pressing her lips together, she fisted her hands and glared daggers at the door, imagining it was his back.
A moment passed as she made an effort to restore her calm demeanor. She ignored the footman, who stood
like a statue next to the door.
At the front desk, she was pleased to see the clerk returning to his post.
She had meant to ask for two glasses of sherry but her encounter with the cad made her choice clear. “Sherry, if
you please, a full bottle, delivered to my room.”
She would need more than one glass to forget the man’s arrogant kiss.
