CHAPTER ELEVEN

Lilli hiked back the seven miles to the Camaro. She threw her pack in the trunk and got in behind the wheel. She sat there, not noticing the heat in the black interior on this sweltering mid-July day, trying not to despair.

She hadn’t seen her target in almost two weeks. She was beginning to think her window had slammed shut on her while she wasn’t looking. Rick had no new intel for her, either. By the time he’d had confirmation for her, the target seemed to have disappeared.

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Now Rick was in heavy search mode, trying to get a read on the new location—which meant that Lilli might be leaving Signal Bend. If things worked out according to plan, she would stay put for months, minimally, to avoid suspicious movements around the time of the kill—if, in fact, there was an investigation. But if the target had moved far, then she would have to follow.

She didn’t want to go. With every passing day, she and Isaac were getting more wrapped up together. If things worked according to plan, there was no reason Lilli would have to leave Signal Bend at all if she didn’t want to. She could do her actual job from anywhere, and a remote location was preferred. Although she’d only known Isaac a few weeks, Lilli understood that she’d stay if she could. She felt a bond with him that she had not felt before, not with someone who wasn’t blood.

Lilli had a fairly extensive sexual past, but she didn’t have a lot of experience with matters of the heart. She’d had a couple of steady boyfriends in high school, and she’d ended her virginity with the second, but she’d never thought she was in love with either. Living the cliché, she’d gotten experimental and adventurous in college and had slept with rather a lot of people for a while, until she’d met Peter, a grad student. They’d been serious. She’d thought she loved Peter. But when he’d gotten a job at a college in New Mexico and moved away, she hadn’t even considered continuing the relationship long-distance. Within a couple of months, she’d more or less stopped thinking of him. So she’d been wrong—not love. Once she joined the service, her opportunities for romance dwindled markedly. She’d had a couple of entirely physical arrangements with other officers while she was in Afghanistan, meeting for righteous, rowdy fucks when they could get R&R time together. But she’d never truly bonded with anyone.

What she felt with Isaac was something different. It reached a different place in her. She’d thought it was just something elementally physical, like their bodies were somehow more in sync than others, because she was drawn to him in ways that freaked her out a little. If they were in any kind of physical proximity, she found it very difficult not to be touching him. And maybe that was a lot of it, especially at first. But in these last couple of weeks
