Sentiment had overruled common sense and she’d never replaced it. Now he opened the back door and slid soundlessly into the kitchen. Years eroded memory. Time eradicated fear. Bad things happened to other people, in other places. Not safe little towns like Bamfield. So trusting, so naive, so flaw...
“We’re going even if I have to drag you all the way there.” The irony didn’t escape him. He preferred his own company and was a workaholic, but he’d rather spend the afternoon strolling around DC with Mallory than anything else he could think of. Since he’d got out of jail...
How the hell had she survived that fall yesterday? And a whole day wandering alone in the wilderness in the middle of a fucking blizzard? Stupidity always managed to find its way into the gene pool, and he had no doubt that, in a normal world, she’d go on to have at least fifteen children. But th...
What was he doing here, anyway? Didn’t he think she took her work seriously? Didn’t he know how hard it was to study for a Ph.D. without dealing with this other crap? Already freaked out by Peter Hughes, she’d been crushed when she’d dug up the camera and found ripped wires and smashed glass. The...

He’d had his Achilles tendon surgically repaired the day they’d arrested Grundy. He’d made Izzy tell Chief Tyson what she’d done while he was in pre-op, so the guy hopefully wouldn’t haul her off to jail before Frazer spoke to the DA. Tyson had agreed, and Frazer had been carted off unconscious. ...
Was Sienna still alive? Probably not, and grief washed over her even as another bullet smashed into the radiator. She gripped her phone in her hand and pressed Noah’s speed dial button.“Audrey?”Then another voice. One she recognized with every nerve in her body. “Where the hell are you?” asked Ki...
He’d had the tattoos professionally redone not long ago, no color, just dark indigo against suntanned skin. She wasn’t exactly sure what the tattoos were of, because he refused to let her see them up close. At some point during the night she’d left the light on in the bathroom and now it filtered...
He’d been at it for hours.Vivi stood as if to go to him, but Jed caught her arm. “He needs to eat.” She tried to pull away, but he held onto her as gently as possibly.“Put a sandwich and a drink beside him. I’ll do it.” He stood and went to the fridge. She followed.Her eyes narrowed. “He also nee...
