Where was her tormentor now? Was Ace hiding in the trees on the opposite side of the clearing? Waiting for Devlin to try to rescue her, so he could kill him? She still couldn’t believe he’d gotten the drop on her back by the house. She’d been so intent on getting to Devlin that she hadn’t paid attention to the woods around her until it was too late. Ace had grabbed her gun, tied her to a tree, and made her watch as he aimed his rifle toward the same window where she’d seen movement earlier. Moments later, he’d fired. The resulting smile on his face had terrified her that he’d shot Devlin. But then he’d suddenly lowered the rifle, his face contorted in fury as he swung it violently against a nearby tree, cracking the wooden body of the gun. He’d pitched the ruined weapon down and glared at her. There was only one reason Emily could think of for him to be that mad. The second shot was meant for Devlin, but for some reason Devlin was no longer in range.
