Excerpt
An officer wearing a black slicker leaned out to buzz the front gate as rain fell in blinding waves.
I shot Frost a panicked glance. “I swear I only called for an ambulance.”
“Dearborne PD,” a voice boomed over the intercom. “Open up.”
Frost hung his head. A wry smile curved his lips. “Officer Osborn. What an unpleasant surprise.”
“You know him?”
“Indeed.” Resolve hardened his face. He snagged a remote from one of the tables, pointed the thing toward a console on the opposite wall. A buzzer sounded and the outside gate slid open. “I’ll handle this.”
“But you’re not—”
“Change your robe,” he said. “You’re covered in blood.”
Frost chucked the remote aside and stepped into a walk-in closet. Moments later, he emerged shoving his arms into a sleek black trench coat. He started for the hallway and had almost disappeared entirely, but he paused. Only his gloved hand—the one gripping the wall’s edge was visible. He leaned over so his head and shoulders were peeking from behind the wall, and shot one last meaningful look in my direction. The mysterious apology again. Then he came back over to me, and gently framed my face with both gloved hands. His pleading eyes were warm and hypnotically blue as his thumb stroked my cheeks.
“You will stay, Miss Reed.”
Who could think when he had me on smolder? “I…ah…”
“Promise me.”
Damn it. “Um, okay.”
Triumph radiated on his face once he stepped away and disappeared down the hallway.
I started wearing the carpet out the moment he hit the stairs and the more I paced, the louder my conscience screamed. No question about it. I was going straight to hell.
