Casey imagined this is what a person in shock felt like. How could her husband have hidden something like this from her?

She followed Lynch out of the casino, feeling as if her world had imploded. She was married to this man. Any debt he'd incurred was hers, as well. How was she going to pay the casino and his company any money he'd stolen from them?

“You okay?” Lynch asked, touching her arm.

Casey pulled away. All the men in her life had done nothing but hurt her in one way or another. She'd never let it happen again. Ever.

Squealing tires had her looking around. A white van barreled toward her, and she found herself paralyzed--unable to move.

Casey closed her eyes, waiting for impact. Strong hands wrapped around her shoulders and yanked her backward. She slammed against a wall, her breath gone. Lynch blanketed her body with his. The sound of his heartbeat echoed around them both.

For what seemed like hours, they remained still as Casey's mind started to work again. Someone had just tried to run her down. She'd be lying dead if Lynch hadn't pulled her to safety. She owed him her life.

At that moment, he looked down at her, and Casey's heart took off again. Why did she have to feel things for this man? As soon as he found Brent, he'd be heading back to Virginia—away from New Orleans—away from her. She had to remember how that had affected her the last time he'd left. It had changed her life completely and she couldn't go through that again.

“You okay?” he asked, a hitch in his voice.

“What just happened? Is someone trying to kill me?”

His shifting eyes gave her his answer. Yes. Someone was trying to kill her. But why?

“Come on. Let's get you home. We can talk then.”

Casey allowed Lynch to lead her to the car, her mind going over the past couple of days. Brent was kidnapped. She gets ransom money from Daddy. Then someone breaks into the house. Yet nothing was taken. The intruder comes into her bedroom and...

Casey swallowed hard. That person hadn't come to take the money. They'd come to kill her.

Her attention flew to Lynch. She pulled at his arm to stop them both. “What the psychic said the other night about you knowing I was in danger. She was right, wasn't she? What are you not telling me, Lynch?”

“Can we talk about this later?”

Casey clutched his arm tightly. “No. I'm not moving until you tell me what you know.”

He closed his eyes and shook his head. When he opened them again, he cleared his throat. Whatever he was about to tell her was going to hurt deeply. She could see it. But she needed to know the truth.

“Just tell me.”

“All right. I found some insurance policies in your name in Brent's desk at work.”

“So? I knew about mine. We both had one.”

“Do you have the policy on Brent?”

“No. He has them both, but I know we had them because I was there when we set them up.
