IF DR. BRADDICK KNEW what had gone on in Jonah’s kitchen, he would force her to abandon the project. If he knew the feelings raging in her heart, he would probably kick her out of the doctoral program altogether.

Edie groaned and sank lower into her bathtub.

What was she going to do?

Edie drained the water from the tub, got out, and wrapped a towel around herself.

Her attraction to Jonah threatened to ruin her dissertation project, but if she gave up her case study, what chance did she have of actually helping him and others like him?

More than anything, she needed to prove that Jonah was worth saving. In order to accomplish her goal, she had to keep her sexual feelings on a short leash. No matter how she might desire him, she simply could not act on those desires.

But one thing he’d said stuck in her brain and refused to let go.

How could she hope to understand her patients if she herself had never experienced darker temptations?

Take a walk on the wild side, he’d dared her.

Jonah was absolutely correct. She had no idea what it was like to let loose and really live. Despite being halfway through her Ph.D., Edie’s education had been sadly lacking. But if she did decide to broaden her horizons, it couldn’t be with Jonah.

Edie slipped into her bathrobe, then ran a comb through her hair. As she was padding to the bedroom, her cell phone rang.

Jonah, she thought immediately. But why would he call her?

Snagging it up on the second ring, she perched on the edge of the bed. “Hello?”

“Edie?”

“Yes?”

“This is Jules. Jules Hardy from the department store.”

“Hey, how are you?”

Jules Hardy was a busty, bubbly redhead who worked in cosmetics. Jules never lacked for dates and always had wild tales to tell about her adventures and misadventures as a young, single woman living la vida loca in the twenty-first century. Now if Edie ever wanted to take a walk on the wild side, this was the woman to teach her how.

“Listen, I’m in a bit of a pickle, and I heard you were studying to be a head shrinker.”

“Psychologist. Yes, that’s true.” Edie tucked a strand of wet hair behind one ear. “What can I do for you, Jules?”

“Well, I’d rather not get into the details over the phone. It’s kinda personal and involves my new boyfriend, Kyle Spencer. In fact, Kyle is the one who told me to call you.”

Edie tightened her grip on the receiver. Kyle Spencer. One of the men from the halfway house she’d gone to bat for with Carmichael. She gulped. “Is Kyle in some sort of trouble?”

“Kinda. It’s involved.”

Letting out her breath in one long expiration, Edie lay back on the bed. “Legal trouble?”

Was Kyle mixed up in the store thefts? Was that what worried Jules?

“I need to see you face-to-face. This is rather private. Can we meet somewhere?”

Edie glanced at the bedside clock. Ten minutes after ten. She usually went to bed at ten thirty. But someone needed her.
