And the second. He figured it was best to give himself something constructive to do rather than simply pace the floor. Besides, he was the one actually living in the house they were using as a base of operations so that made more sense than having Logan come over and do it.Jace had been on plenty...
So much for anonymity, he thought; he was chagrined. Still, if this really was Jonathan trying to contact him, it meant he had an ally inside the old organization after all. That was worth a lot, both for himself and for Marie.“How are things in your part of Wonderland?” Seth typed.“Not so wonder...
He’d had to shorten a couple of business appointments and postpone his four o’clock in order to give himself time to buy supplies. Hopefully, his crazy plan was worth the effort.

The vivid recollection of the last time he’d been catapulted into an icy river was. Cody didn’t feel pain, only sorrow and deep regret.

She fought him, as he’d expected. “Let me go!” “No. You can’t help Sissy by getting yourself shot. Calm down. Think. There must be something sensible we can do.” There were tears in Emma’s eyes when she looked up at him. “Wha...
Rachel had said very little more after her telling comment about her failed relationship with Craig Slocum, and there was no way Sean could hope to help her cope unless she chose to open up to him. Then again, she hadn’t asked for that kind of help, had she. So why did he feel compelled to give i...
So much misery. So much loss. If she opened her mind to the vast hopelessness all around her she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to function at all, let alone make herself useful. Michael guided the buggy past the impressive Crocker and Huntington estates, then turned up the drive of the house sh...
She laid aside her daily journal and pencil and went to answer the knock.Cautious and more than a little tremulous, she grasped the knob, leaned against the thin wooden door and called, “Who is it?”“Me.”Her relief at hearing the familiar rumble of Thorne’s voice was so great it left her a bit gid...
Truth to tell, he hoped that that was all it was. Given the events of late, there was no telling what was actually going on inside the dark house.

But once the little dog had sniffed his discarded, damp boots and had checked out the edges of the fresh blankets, he trotted down the hallway toward Jill’s room. Cute little guy, Mitch thought, smiling as he watched him go. He was glad Jill had both an inside companion and the dogs outside to st...

When he’d wrapped his arms around her neck to thank her for letting him pet her dog, she’d had to fight to keep from weeping for the loving family she’d lost so long ago. It was this town, she reasoned. That was what was bothering her. She’d not only cheated death since ar...
Rachel warned, taking care to hold tight to the child to keep her out of danger.He stepped back and dusted off his hands. “Wasn’t that a popular song back in the early seventies?”“How would I know? That was before my time.” She grinned. “I’m not old like you are.”“Oh, fine. Stomp all over my ego....

I have my orders.” He wiped perspiration from his brow with the back of his hand.“We just came out of ...
After stopping in Kucha, he crossed the Tianshan Mountains, visited the kaghan of the Western Turks on the northwestern edge of Lake Issykkul in what is now Kyrgyzstan, and then proceeded to Samarkand in modern Uzbekistan.
