Not wanting to distract Rake, Jillian didn’t speak during the ride. The island came into view. Even though everyone called the place Sloan’s island, his property was on Santa Rosa, an island off the coast of Santa Barbara. Lex never explained how Sloan got his hand on the property, and Jillian never asked.

The closer they got to the landing, the tenser she became. The helipads were on a stretch of land with sparse vegetation, but the house was nestled among pine trees above them. Lights lit up the steps and the rails.

“This Warwick guy, what’s his story?” she asked.

“It’s complicated.”

“I can do complicated.” It was better than stressing about Lex. “Lex said he was a guy you knew from college, but Deedee implied he’d been a friend and a frat brother. Why can’t you guys stop him from messing with your lives?”

“Fitz will tell you everything you need to know about Warwick,” Rake said after landing the helicopter. “This way.”

Jillian wanted to snap at him, but she bit her cheek. Every time she came to this island, something horrible was happening. The first time, Lex had been kidnapped and she’d been too distraught to look around. Tonight, he was unconscious and she needed answers.

Lights from the mainland winked at her like fallen stars from a distance, and the sounds of waves crashing against the beach were rhythmic and comforting. Too bad she couldn’t be comforted. Every time she thought about Lex and that woman, she wanted to scream or punch something.

Lights blazed inside and outside the sprawling ranch house, but it was quiet. If there had been a party here, the guests were long gone. Sloan opened the door before they reached it. From the decanter in his hand, he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Jillian’s stomach clenched with dread.

“Is he still unconscious?” she asked.

He nodded. “The doctor is with him. I’m sorry this happened at my party,” he added.

“Warwick did this. Not you.” You just supplied the women. Once again, she bit her cheek to stop from saying something she’d later regret.

He led the way to a hallway. Cade and Lucien stood outside the room, all looking glum.

“He’s not dead, so stop it!” Jillian snapped, not caring how she sounded. As though on cue, the door opened and a skinny man with red hair and freckles stepped out of the room. He carried a leather bag like old doctors on call.

“His vitals are good,” he said. “The symptoms you listed indicate this wasn’t just one predator drug. They gave him a cocktail of several. I took both blood and urine samples and will have my lab run tests first thing in the morning. Until we know the results, I can’t predict the side effects or how long before they wear off.” He pinched his nose and smiled. “Most often, these drugs are metabolized fast, so it’s a good thing you called me.” He glanced toward the room and added, “It was nice talking to you, Ms. Grayson.”

“No problem, doc,” a woman with a British accent responded.
