Ready - Aim - Fire

by Robin Wood

R.D.Aim is a D.E.A. agent investigating a cabin owned by Blue Herron Lodge, where a meth lab is thought to be found. Jodi Ellis is part of the ladies who own the lodge. She doesn't appreciate finding an agent on her property, nor a drug lab. When Doug, a.k.a. Ready is injured, he crawls to the lodge where they take him in against the 'women only' rule. They hide him when they have lady guests. He is nurtured and coddled much to the disgust of Jodi's mother, Chrys. When the drug bust goes down, all hell breaks loose.
