Zoe Bright was a tough nut to crack. After only twenty minutes of holding her in the cabin, Rollo already felt exhausted. He had to pace himself, she obviously wasn’t going to give up any information that easily. She was protecting something. Perhaps she was still under the misguided impression that the only way to ensure her safety and freedom was to deliver the jewels to Ivanov.

If he gave her the jewels, he would be an accomplice in the crime. If she somehow managed to take the jewels and slip away, he would never see her again. He couldn’t allow either to happen. Rollo loved his job and he loved the law. But he loved Zoe even more. The revelation that he was already in love with her hit him in the chest. He had to turn away from her and stand beside the flickering fire in the hearth.

“What’s the matter?” Zoe asked from behind him. “Guilty conscience getting to you?”

Rollo let out a long breath and grabbed one of the rustic chairs from the dining set and pulled it across the floor to sit in front of Zoe on the couch. They sat only a foot and a half from each other, the energy and heat of their bodies mingling in the space between them.

“Why don’t you tell me about your connection to Dimitri Ivanov?” Rollo asked.

“What gives you the idea that I have any connection to whoever the fuck that is?” she spat.

Rollo pulled out his cell phone and brought up the photographs that Damien had sent him. He brought up one of Zoe and Dimitri kissing under the cypress trees of southern France. It sickened his bear, but he pressed his eyes together and brought his inner beast under control.

“Does this look at all familiar to you?” he asked her, showing her the image.

“Are you jealous?”

“The man in this picture is Dimitri Ivanov. How do you explain that?”

“Maybe I met him at a party once,” she mused.

“Well, how about this one from a year later?” he said showing her a second picture that showed the couple climbing into a limousine together in Paris.

“What is your point?”

“My point is that you seem to be awfully cozy with the head of a Russian mafia group,” Rollo said.

“I had no idea that Dima was involved in criminal activity. He was just fun to hang out with. He’s actually a really good dancer. You would be surprised.”

“Spare me,” Rollo growled.

“Am I sensing some envy? What’s wrong? Can’t you dance?” she asked.

“My dancing skill is irrelevant, Ms. Bright. I have all the physical evidence I need to connect you to the crime already,” he said, dangling the velvet bag of jewels in front of her.

“That doesn’t prove anything.”

Rollo pulled the jewels out of the bag, showing her each piece.

“These are exactly the items that were taken from Caitlin Somerset’s chest at her mansion. I found them on you.”

“I found them in the forest.”

“You found them? Is that why you took off running when you heard the siren.
