Chapter Six

Fuming, Heaven raced her motorcycle up the 215, the desert scenery of rocky outcroppings passing in a blur. After leaving the casino, she had gone straight to the DA’s office and begged for Darius’s home address. He might think he could control her at work, but he’d double-crossed her, and now she’d make him pay.

He was such a backstabber! She’d make him tell her where her brother was even if she had to beat it out of him.

She’d been such a fool. Letting him touch her, trusting him. Something insider her broke the second he betrayed her.

Driving to his house was the best way to handle the problem, but there was no way she would let Darius or his crooked boss win. Turning off the highway, she slowed to the posted speed limit and navigated the road winding between the mountains. Never would she have believed Darius would live in such an exclusive area. But after spending her life in Vegas, she understood dirty money could buy the best of things.

As she turned right, the headlights lit a sign to a gated community. It read Heaven’s Gate.

A few feet ahead, a uniformed man sat in the guard booth. The sound of the baseball game blasted on a tinny radio as she stopped.

The guard stuck his head out of the booth. “Good evening. How can I help you?”

Lifting the helmet visor, she said, “I’m here to see Darius Turner.”

The guard nodded as the gate lifted.

Heaven gunned the bike up the steep hill. She pulled into the only driveway and parked her bike under a tall palm tree as the last of the sun’s rays kissed the mountains.

Climbing off the bike, she scanned the street. Twenty minutes out of Vegas, up in arid mountains, each house was massive, resembling a hotel more than a home. Deep pinks and dark purples streaked the sky as the sun disappeared behind the mountains behind it. The building was a three-story, slate-gray brick with massive turrets on either side of an arched entrance. It resembled a medieval castle.

Impressive palm trees lined the drive and huge cacti framed the entryway. Not the place she pictured Darius living in, however, this was the address the DA’s office gave her.

Heaven marched through the archway into a spectacular courtyard with a magnificent fountain that was bigger than her apartment. The noise of the water splashing almost made her smile. She paused at the fountain a moment longer, letting its calming sound surround her, then continued toward the ten-foot double doors up a set of steps.

She rang the doorbell. No answer. Impatiently, she pounded her fist against the door. “Darius Turner, I want to speak to you.”

Nothing. She continued to bang on the door as she called his name.

Moments later, the door opened. Heaven’s breath caught.

Darius stood before her, water dripping from his
