Chapter Thirteen

Liam didn’t take his gaze off his brother. He couldn’t. For all his wild imaginings, Dylan Hart was not what he’d expected – not in any way.

The guy looked like him, shockingly so, but with another three inches in height, at least thirty more pounds of solid muscle, and a look in his eyes that said all the years Liam had spent playing Call of Duty, this man had been living it. And like everyone else Liam had met at Steele Street, his big brother had the world-wide lockdown on the word “calm.” Steady. Solid. Like a rock. In no way was Dylan Hart the wild freebooter he’d thought he’d find. Not a con man. Not a hustler who’d outfoxed Big Jack.

And sure as hell, he was no car salesman.

He was a man to be reckoned with – and Skeeter and Hawkins knew it even more than he did. He’d seen the subtle deference inherent in their attention to Dylan. His big brother was the boss, the captain of this crew of badass boys and girls.

Jeez.

“So, you know about the money,” his brother said.

Liam nodded. “It’s the only thing Big Jack ever talks about when he’s drinking, and he drinks a lot. He even took me to Geneva when I was sixteen, tried to pass me off as you to every bank in town. But no one had ever heard of Liam Dylan Magnuson – until we got to Credit Suisse. While Jack was arguing with the banker, I wandered off, and this guard comes over to me, an older guy, looks me square in the eye and says, “You are too young to be this man you claim to be. Go home before you get arrested.” So right then, bingo, I knew it was all true. The five million, and probably more by then, was sitting in Credit Suisse, and you were probably still out there, somewhere.”

“And you never mentioned this to Jack?”

“Never once in my entire life have I ever mentioned anything to Jack,” he said. “In fact, I have done my damnedest to stay as far away from Big Fat Daddy Jack as humanly possible.”

To Liam’s surprise, his comment got him a laugh – not much of one, but definitely a laugh.

“Well, you’re right. Our father put five million into a Credit Suisse investment account in my name, in your name, just before he died,” his brother said, returning to the subject at hand. “It’s worth a bit more today.”

Liam nodded.

“Half of it’s yours.”

Uh, no. No friggin’ way.

Liam shook his head. “No, thanks.” The last thing he wanted was to hang that damn money around his neck and spend the rest of his life worrying about who was coming up behind him, ready to wax his ass. Besides, he’d proven pretty damn good at making his own money. “No,” he said. “I don’t need your money.”

“And I don’t need yours.” His brother was succinct.

Liam nodded without agreeing to anything. “It’s not the reason I came looking for you, the money.
