To Catch a Snake: Book Three - Supernatural Bounty Hunter Romance Novellas Read Free

the camel in the crowd,” Carly told him, dejectedly.
    Marcus licked his lips. “Norman skipped his court date three days ago, and since then, the four of you have managed to lose him six times. He’s a pot-dealing camel shifter, who was arrested for trying to hold up a Lunar Burger with a banana. What exactly is going on here?”
    Logan rubbed the back of his head. “He’s smarter than he looks.”
    Marcus’ jaw ticked. “He’d have to be to get himself dressed in the morning.”
    Noah shuffled his feet. “And he’s really wily.”
    The four bounty hunters started talking at once about their failed attempts to find the camel. They reiterated how it wasn’t their faults, and went on to explain how sneaky he was.
    Marcus shushed them with a stern look. “Have you at least found out where he’s living?”
    The silent looks between the four of them spoke volumes.
    “I’ll take that as a no. Alright, I’ll give the skip to someone else.”
    They all started protesting at once, and Marcus waved them away. “No, you’re not making any progress; it’s time someone else took a crack at him.”
    Carly and Noah looked disappointed, Logan accepted the decision with a sigh, and Jackson was downright furious. He took any failure to catch anyone as a personal affront.
    Thankfully, before he could voice his fury, raised voices from the outer office broke through the quiet. And given that the door was designed to be soundproof, they knew something was happening.
    Logan tore out of the office, swiftly followed by the other shifters.
    “What’s happening? Are you okay?” demanded Logan of Mia Blau, Marcus’ niece and the new office manager.
    Mia’s pretty nose twitched in annoyance. She was stood, hands on hips, scowling at their newest office assistant.
    Mia was a rabbit shifter; her mother was a rabbit and her father, Marcus’ brother, was a boa constrictor. She came to work for her uncle a few months ago as an assistant for Alma, but had now taken on Alma’s job. Unfortunately, finding her own replacement had been less than straightforward. They were on their third applicant, and it appeared that she was on her way out too.
    The first had been unceremoniously fired after Carly caught him taking ecstasy in the supply cupboard. Logan caught the second stealing over a hundred dollars of office supplies. And now the third one…
    “You’re fired!” yelled the, usually, timid rabbit shifter.
    Margie snorted and flipped her auburn hair over her shoulder. “Fine with me!”
    She grabbed her purse and stalked out of the office; her curvy butt bobbed up and down, making the word ‘juicy’ ripple.
    “And good riddance!” screeched Mia.
    Margie had been a pain since the moment she flounced into the office, started hitting on Logan, and took two-hour lunch breaks.
    “Everything alright?” asked Marcus.
    Mia spluttered. “That… that… woman was using the office to run a sex hotline!”
    Noah’s eyes almost bulged out his head. “She was?”
    Mia fanned herself with her hand, trying to calm down.
    Logan placed a meaty hand on her shoulder. “You okay?”
    “Mmmm hmmm.” She looked at him adoringly.
    Jackson clucked his tongue. The giant, handsome bear shifter had that effect on women. As long as Logan stayed the hell away from Carly, it didn’t bother him… or at least it only slightly irritated him .
    Mia sighed and sat back down at her desk. “Well, that’s it. We had three applicants for the job and we’ve gone through all three.” Mia looked at Carly, pleadingly. “Please? I can’t cope on my own.”
    Carly kicked her feet. “Okay, but only for a couple of days, those bounties won’t catch themselves.”
    Jackson smiled. “Perhaps you’ll prefer staying in the office, perhaps you’ll…”
    “No!” she interrupted and folded her arms.
    It was an ongoing fight between the two of them. Carly wanted to be a bounty hunter, and Jackson was completely against it. He said it was too dangerous for
