WHEN RILEY FLASHED HIS LIGHTS as Amy had careened onto the off ramp, she had to blink back tears to focus on the road. She knew Riley would’ve stayed with her if she’d begged, but she had too much pride for that. Her desire for his company didn’t have anything to do with fear and everything to do with her attraction to him.

But he seemed determined to keep his distance. It was almost as if he considered himself toxic, but he was torn between that and his protective instincts which ran strong and deep.

She probably could’ve played on that aspect of Riley’s character, but that was stooping pretty low. She didn’t play games with men. Maybe that’s why she didn’t have one in her life.

Her stomach growled and she rubbed it. She should’ve suggested dinner. He would’ve gone for that, figuring they could at least eat together without putting her life in danger.

Before making the turn to Sarah’s house, Amy pulled into the parking lot of a shopping center with a bookstore, a coffee place, a bank and several restaurants. She stopped in at the bookstore first. Had to have something to read at dinner so she wouldn’t look like a total loser eating by herself.

She slipped into the house, flicked on the light and locked the door behind her. She kicked off her flats and padded across the cool tile of the kitchen floor. She needed more caffeine to stay awake and figure out the rest of her life. Grabbing a soda from the fridge, she cocked her head at a tinkling sound from upstairs.

She snapped the lid of her can and trudged up the curved staircase, straightening a picture on the wall on her way up. She paused on the landing while slurping a sip of soda. The tinkle of the wind chimes floated through the door of the master bedroom. She poked her head around the corner, frowning at the curtains billowing into the room. A gust of wind sent the wind chimes into overdrive.

Sarah had mentioned her maid would be coming in today. Had she opened the window? The wind was kicking up from the ocean now strong enough to blow over those pretty little glass figures littering Sarah’s dresser. Amy put her
