Sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, Jolie stared out the window at her beloved Alaska. Though she hadn’t been born here, she’d lived 80 percent of her life here. And she loved it. Especially since it had David Whiteeagle.

Who hadn’t come to visit her in the two days since they’d been delivered to the hospital, even though he’d been released yesterday.

“Now, dear,” her mother said, moving around the room, gathering belongings. “You get dressed because I am going to find that doctor and get you released to Dr. Hanley’s care.”

“I’m fine here, Mom. They’ve taken good care of me.”

“You have frostbite—you were poisoned!” The injuries had mortified her mom.

“Neither of which are the fault of the doctors here. I’m fine. Really.” And not ready to leave. Not yet. Not till …

“Nonsense. There are far better doctors in Fairbanks than out here in the middle of nowhere.” Her mother lifted her purse and started for the door, tugging hard to open it. “Get ready. I’ll be back soon.”

Jolie pushed off the bed, her feet snug in the silly pink thermal socks the doctors insisted she keep. She shuffled to the window and peered out at Mt. McKinley, remembering David. His raw power. His anger. That drastic change in him right before Aidan—

Jolie tipped her head, touching her fingers to her forehead. She’d thought of him as a brother. And he’d wanted to kill her. Because her father believed in her, believed she had the wherewithal to run the company.

The door whooshed behind her followed by a soft thud.

“Sorry, dear. I left my ID in here when I called the insurance company a while ago.” Her mother retrieved it. “Baron called from the parking lot. He’s on his way up.”

“Mom, you haven’t told me—did they find Aidan?”

Her mother’s face fell. “I guess I can’t hide it from you. Yes, they found him. His neck … it was broken. He died instantly.”

Jolie trembled. “I’m glad he didn’t suffer….”

“You have a bigger heart than me because I wanted him to suffer for what he did to you.” Her mother shuddered. “And your father. Police went through his things and his father cooperated. They’ve found chemicals in Aidan’s room. And e-mail exchanges with someone named Rameau, who apparently masterminded your father’s accident.”

Jolie turned away, choked by the news.

“Ah, Baron, so glad you could join us.”

In the glass reflection, Jolie saw Baron’s ghostly image. She turned back and offered him a halfhearted smile.

“The nurse said she was ready for you.”

“Oh. Yes. Thank you. I’ll be right back, Jolie.”

Alone with Baron, Jolie braced herself, once again tracing the mountains with her gaze. “Did you bring them, Baron?”

“I did.”

She turned and retrieved a pen from the table where her mother had scribbled notes from the insurance company. “Then let’s do this.”
