We got lucky the next day, and Arabella’s taping wrapped up in the early afternoon even though she expected it to take another day. Considering how little sleep Arabella had gotten the night before, it was a good thing. The loss of a contestant who’d been kicked off the show for sleeping with the original producer had speeded up the process of picking a winner. Her responsibilities were fulfilled, which meant I could get her out of town and to a safer place.

“If I’d known there was a chance you’d be done today, I might have just switched rooms instead of checking into a new hotel last night,” I grumbled as I loaded her suitcases into my rental car for the second time in as many days.

“We could just stay here another night,” she suggested.

“It’s too late for that,” I chuckled. “Your bags are already in the car, and I’ve made reservations for the ferry and rented us a cottage.”

“A ferry and a cottage?” she echoed. “Where are we going?”

I helped her into the car as I answered, “Santa Catalina Island.”

“Really?” She looked at me hopefully, clapping her hands together as I slid into the driver’s seat. “I’ve never been there before.”

“Yes, really.” I flashed her a smile. “It’s close enough to LA that I can easily come back if I get a solid lead and need to interview someone in person.”

“Wouldn’t it be hard for us to escape an island if we needed to get out of there quickly? I thought the ferry across takes like an hour.”

Her voice trembled, and knowing that someone out there had scared her so much that she didn’t feel safe pissed me the fuck off. When I found them, they were going to pay—and depending on what they had in mind for Arabella, the way they did so might be permanent. I’d killed before for my country; I had no doubt that I’d be able to do so for my woman if it came down to it. I didn’t want to do anything to change the way Arabella looked at me, but her safety would come first for me. Always.

“I’m good at what I do, sweetheart. Even if you weren’t mine, I wouldn’t take any unnecessary risks,” I reassured her, reaching for her hand and squeezing it. If it had been anyone but her, I never would have thought about going to the island. Holing up in any old place would have been fine. But I wanted to do better—be better—for her. “I figured since you had a month off, you could look at this as a vacation instead of just hiding out. I was able to snag us an ocean-view cottage, so we’ll have some privacy. And if the need to leave quickly arises, we’ll go by helicopter instead of the ferry.”

“Thank you for that.” Her green eyes were damp as she looked at me like I’d hung the moon. “Yes, please, take me to Santa Catalina Island.”

I softened my voice because I didn’t want to ruin the moment, but it needed to be said.
