Taylor smiled to herself and readjusted on the large chaise as she read further into the book on art history. She loved the subject, and this humongous library Lian had contained so many books on that very thing.

She reached for her iced tea sitting on a coaster beside her, only to come up empty. She frowned and tipped the book towards her chest and looked. Cale stood there, taller than life, staring down at her. He held her tea.

“You scared me,” she said lightly. “Done with your meeting?”

“I am.” He handed over the glass when she beckoned with her fingers. “I see you’ve made yourself at home.”

“I did. Went to the kitchen and made some tea, properly I might add. Drank two glasses there before filling one and tracking down this room. I’ve been in here reading since.”

“Proper tea?”

“Sweet.”

“So just add sugar to the stuff we have.”

Her face contorted and she shook her head violently. “That is not proper.” One hand rose and she took several deep breaths. “Anyway. That’s neither here nor there. I have the right kind of tea. How was your thing?”

His expression sobered. When he lowered himself to the chaise by her feet, she knew it couldn’t be good news. One more sip then she put her glass down on the coaster.

“We need your help.”

“Okay. What with?”

“We need some information you can give, any and all you can depart with.”

She blinked, waiting for more detail. “Okay,” she drew out. “Information on what?”

“Jeremy Kenyon and the guys who were with him.”

Warnings snaked up her spine instantly and she struggled not to give away her fear. “What do you need to know about them?”

He touched her ankle and began rubbing it. “Anything. Everything. Places they hung out. What they liked doing. All of that.”

“Can I ask why?”

“We discovered they’re linked to The New Order.”

Momentarily speechless, she just sat there, fingers flexing around the edges of the art history book. “My cousins?”

He nodded. “It explains why they thought the pendant would be worth so much. Whoever hired them to get it over exaggerated its monetary worth.”

“So…wait…are you saying…?” She gulped and breathed deep a few times. “Are you saying they killed my grandmother to get this thing from her? And when the will gave it to me, they came after me?”

He shook his head. “I don’t know, babe. We can find out if you want. All I know for certain is they are working with men from The New Order and we really need to find out for who, and get as high up the ladder we can.

Good Lord, she was nauseated. “Sure. I’ll give you what I can. When? Now?”

“As soon as you’re up to it.”

She closed the book and swung her feet to the floor. “Don’t know if I will ever be, not knowing they may have purposefully killed her. Let’s get it over with.”

Taylor replaced the book on the shelf and turned to find Cale there holding her tea. He placed a light kiss along her lips and she gave him a half-smile before taking the tea then heading for the door.
