Washington, D.C. The irony of their destination didn’t escape Lana as the jet began its descent into the city that had caused her family so much turmoil. Le Clair hadn’t blindfolded her this time, so she had a clear view of the Washington Monument and the glow of lights from Capitol Hill as the jet headed for the runway below.

She used to visit her dad here when she was a kid. She and her mom lived in California for most of the year, but D.C. was like a second home. Her father’s entire life revolved around this darn city, so much so that he’d neglected all of his children, thanks to his high-profile political career.

Why had her captors brought her here? The choice of location troubled her, but also brought a flicker of hope. Maybe this was it. Her dad would give them the money they desired, and an exchange would be made. Maybe she could finally go home.

Lana jumped as the wheels connected with the runway, causing the plane to bounce and shudder until it finally came to a complete stop. On the other side of the lavish cabin, Deacon sat next to Tango, and she noticed that both men wore the same serious expression. They didn’t look happy about this latest development.

Neither was she.

And she certainly wasn’t happy with what had happened last night in the cabin. When she’d nearly seduced Deacon.

What had she been thinking?

Nothing at all.

No, she hadn’t been thinking last night. Rick Garrison’s senseless death had sent her reeling, placed her in a severe state of shock that left her numb and unable to conjure up a single rational thought. Even now, the memory of Garrison’s lifeless body caused her pulse to race. Le Clair had murdered that poor man in cold blood, and no matter what Deacon said, she knew she’d be saddled with Garrison’s death on her conscience for the rest of her life.

Her hands went cold as the ominous knowledge settled over her like a thick patch of fog. A man had died because of her.

No, because of her father. The one person she’d always stood by, given her unconditional love to, no matter how badly he screwed things up with her mother and siblings. Why hadn’t her father found a way to rescue her already?

The anger coursing through her came as a total shock. As a child, she’d idolized her dad. As an adult, she’d rationalized his mistakes, tried to see the best in him despite his many flaws.

Maybe she’d been wrong to do that. It was definitely getting harder to ignore everything Hank Kelley had done, especially now. Her father had cheated on her mother. He’d selfishly hurt his wife and Lana’s older brothers. And he’d hurt her, too, over the years, no matter how much she tried to deny it. He hadn’t even shown up for her college graduation, for Pete’s sake. But she’d forgiven him, of course.

She always forgave him, she realized bitterly. Always gave him the benefit
