THE NEXT MORNING Jane was more rested and less achy. The nurse gave her toiletries for a shower, which made her feel like a new woman.

Jacob’s wife sent clean clothes, jeans and a soft blue sweater that were comfortable and warm. A hot breakfast also improved her mood.

Although the grim look in Fletch’s eyes when he entered the room with his brother brought reality back fast.

Fletch’s gaze skated over her, and for just a moment, she sensed the strong connection they’d shared in the wilderness. A sensual awareness that tempted her to hide in his arms where she’d be safe forever.

This morning he looked sexy in jeans and a denim shirt that accentuated his tanned skin. He’d shaved and she missed the rugged stubble. But the heat in his eyes simmered like the embers of a fire. For a brief second, she wished they’d made love so she could have that memory to keep with her forever.

Then his gaze turned hooded, and an awkwardness settled in the room. “How do you feel this morning?” Fletch asked.

Jane shrugged. “Better. At least clean and fed.”

He gave a small smile. “Yeah, me, too.”

Jacob cleared his throat. “Has the doctor seen you this morning?”

Jane lifted her chin. “He said I’m clear to go. I’m waiting on the nurse to bring discharge papers.”

“What was his opinion regarding the amnesia?” Fletch asked.

Jane pulled a card from the pocket of the jeans. “He gave me a referral to a therapist who might help. She specializes in memory recovery.”

“That sounds promising,” Fletch said.

Jane exhaled. “I’m supposed to call and set up an appointment.” She glanced at Jacob. “That is, if I’m free to do that.”

Jacob gave her a flat look. “Last night Officer Clemmens contacted me again. He’s the officer who contacted me with the initial report about you. He sent a photograph and confirmation of your identity.” Jacob shifted. “Bianca Renard, you are under arrest for the murder of Victor Renard. You have the right to remain silent...”

Knots curled in Jane’s gut as he Mirandized her. She’d known this moment might arrive, but being treated like a criminal was humiliating.

“I’m sorry, Jane,” Fletch said.

Jane lifted her chin. “I guess it’s time I face the truth.” Even if she didn’t like what she learned about herself.

The nurse poked her head inside, and Jane waved her in. She signed the discharge papers, and was forced to ride to the exit in a wheelchair where the sheriff’s car waited.

At least he didn’t handcuff her. But the moment the police car door shut, she felt trapped again. She had fought for her life in the woods.

Now she had to fight again.
