Chapter Two

Andrea moved her head back and forth as she became more aware of her surroundings. She’d lost all track of time and could hear people speaking in quiet voices. That excruciating pain was back since the drug they’d given her had worn off. She started to sob. “My baby—has anyone found my baby?”

“We have, Mrs. Sinclair.”

She didn’t recognize the deep male voice, but those words filled her whole being with unspeakable joy. “Is he all right?”

“He’s right here safe and sound. See for yourself.”

Andrea felt the hospital bed being raised. The next sight she saw was an unfamiliar man holding her baby, whom he’d just picked up from the hospital crib. Jack was wrapped in one of the blankets she’d packed in the diaper bag. The stranger handed her the bundle with infinite care.

“Oh, my baby—” She clutched Jack to her, trying to hold back the sobs so she wouldn’t frighten him. “My little sweetheart.” She pressed kisses to his face and hands. “I can’t believe I’ve got you back.” She cuddled him close, rocking him.

Jack found his favorite place against her neck and burrowed in. While she smoothed one hand over his little back, she looked up into a pair of the most beautiful, warm gray eyes she’d ever seen. Through his black lashes they looked suspiciously bright as the tall, hard-muscled male with dark sable hair stared down at the two of them. “He’s missed his mommy.”

“Who are you?” she whispered.

“My name’s Flynn Patterson. I’m with the Texas Rangers.”

She’d heard of the Rangers all her life. This one wore a Western-style shirt and cowboy boots. If anyone fitted the description of one of those legendary heroes, he did.

“I was the one who happened to come across a car accident earlier tonight outside Fort Davis and discovered your baby locked in his car seat. It’s a good thing, too. He survived the rollover without a scratch. All he wanted was you.”

Tears flowed down her cheeks. “Thank God you found him—” she cried emotionally. But in the next breath, fear seized her. “What about my husband? I-Is he in the hospital, too?” Her question came out jerkily.

“Yes. The doctor says he’s suffered a concussion, but he’s going to make it.”

She felt the blood drain from her face. “I don’t want to see him. Please don’t let him come near me or the baby. I filed for divorce five months ago and we’ve been legally separated since then. But he’s been out of control and has continually ignored the restraining orders against him.”

“Have no fear. He’s under guard on another floor. While Jack is resting comfortably against you, are you up to answering a few questions for me? I need your answers for the record.”

“Now that you’ve found my baby, I’m up for anything! Go ahead.”

Andrea watched him snag a chair from the side of the room with effortless male grace and sit down next to the bed with his long powerful legs extended. His wavy hair framed a face with rugged features.
