Chapter 10

When Lincoln ended the call from his sister, Sabrina could tell he was upset. From what she could glean from the conversation, some of Tristan’s thugs had gone to his house and harassed Arizona and his other sister, Autumn. Two detectives had also come looking for him. Good and bad. They’d helped to scare the men away.

The threat of harming his sisters had pushed Lincoln over an edge. It was something to see, and she had to smother the way she loved that about him. His fierce protectiveness. The only problem was where it stemmed—from feelings he had for Miranda, the woman who’d died and he hadn’t been able to save.

Desperate to stop Tristan, Lincoln had driven them here, where they now sat parked in front of Tristan’s house in the Cadillac CTS-V rental. It was a bold move, according to Sabrina. What if Tristan or one of his men saw them?

A car passed going the other way. A woman jogged by wearing an iPod tucked into a holster clipped to her spandex shorts. Sabrina wished she was doing something like that rather than fighting to clear her name and having to go up against a man as dangerous as Tristan. At least she was comfortable. When Lincoln had said they were going on a stakeout, she’d worn something she could sit around in for a while, a black sundress. A little on the sexy side, she’d drawn a few stares from Lincoln, but that was okay.

Catching him looking again, she stole another look of her own of him. He was in tan khaki pants and a vivid blue knit shirt that really brought out his eyes. They were both dressed well for this activity. She pushed away the thought that she may have done it on purpose. Him, too. That attraction they had.

The houses on this street were good in size and nice. Nice enough for their Cadillac CTS-V rental to blend in.

Even from here she could see security cameras mounted to Tristan’s house. She couldn’t see any guards, but there had to be some. They were probably disguised as servants. The house itself wasn’t so expensive that it would raise red flags. It wasn’t anything that an upper-level manager at OneDefense wouldn’t be able to afford. It was the electronics that did it. It must have cost a fortune to set it up.

“How are you going to bypass all that?” she asked.

“Don’t know. For now we’ll just watch.” He twisted to reach into his duffel bag, coming out with binoculars.

“What if he sees us?”

“I’m not sure I care if he does.”

He certainly seemed brave. Maybe his experience gave him that power. Experience and a lot of connections.

“How did you find the policeman and arrange to meet with him?” she asked. “And that background check on Tristan.”

He looked through the binoculars at Tristan’s house. “I just know people.”

“Do you pay them?”

“Sometimes. Sometimes they prefer to swap favors.”

“Huh.” She nodded with a wry frown. Swap favors... What kind of favors? She looked around, not seeing anything special or significant.
