MELISSA WAS ACCUSTOMED to living alone, but the rental house felt empty now. She missed Dex. His masculine scent lingered, taunting her with the fact that their earlier kiss had almost led to the bedroom.

She phoned April to inform her that they could get in the shelter the next day to reopen. April offered to relay the news to the other volunteers and to Another Chance Shelter. The men she and Dex had transported there could return to Lend-A-Hand if they wanted.

Melissa rolled her shoulders, her muscles aching. The red marks on her throat were turning dark purple now.

Shivering with the memory of her attacker’s hands around her neck, she undressed and showered, letting the warm water soothe her frazzled nerves.

She closed her eyes, savoring the scent of rosewater in her body wash, and scrubbed her body and hair clean. Willing the water to wash away the haunting memories of nearly dying twice, she stood beneath the spray until the water started to turn cold.

Finally, she dried off and pulled on a T-shirt and pajama shorts, then padded to the kitchen and made a cup of hot tea. She needed to sleep and to forget about how close she’d come to death.

Dex could distract her...

Her suitcase caught her eye, but she fought the instinct to pack and run. She couldn’t leave yet. Not until she knew what had happened to Bill’s friend Harry, or who Jim Smith really was. Or if the shootings and the vet’s death and the missing homeless men were connected.

Dex wanted answers about his father, too. She wanted them for him.

Then she would leave town and find a place to start all over again like she had so many times before.

A place where she could permanently put her fantasies about Dexter Hawk behind her.
