Josh Ryan instinctively knew it the moment he spotted Emma Bowen pacing the outer reception area of his second-floor law office. He may not have seen her in six years, but a lifelong friendship and a heart full of memories hadn’t diminished his instincts when it came to Em. Hell, she was practically family; the little sister he’d never had. As such, he’d always had special feelings for her and felt particularly protective of her. And her very tender heart. Something strong and instinctive rose within Josh, making him long to go to her, as he’d done when they’d been children, hauling her into his arms and holding her until the pain and fear he saw etched in her face—her eyes—eased. But they weren’t children any longer, Josh reminded himself. Six long years and a lot of water had run under the bridge. He’d been trying to contact her for weeks—ever since her father’s fatal heart attack a month ago—to no avail. His letters to her last address had come back, causing the first inklings of worry, and so, with no other choice, he’d hired an investigator.
