HOW COULD BENNETT do this to her? Two years as partners. She’d trusted him with her life, trusted him with her secret. She’d let him inside her house, made him part of her son’s life. Uncle Bennett. What was she supposed to tell Hunter now? Pressure built in her chest as she ground her back teeth together. Bennett had known everything about her. Obviously she couldn’t say the same for him. She was an investigator, for crying out loud. How could she not have seen the truth?

Glennon kept her footsteps light as she approached the house, weapon in hand. Fanning her fingers over the gun’s grip, she exhaled hard. Her pulse beat loudly in her ears. Mascaro had already sent hit men after her and Anthony. But she’d kill every last one of them before they laid a finger on her son.

“You’re blaming yourself.” The mountain of muscle close on her heels had her back, even with the slight limp he fought to hide from her.

“Did the Rangers train you to read minds or is that a new skill of yours?” Anthony had had a choice back at the hospital and he’d chosen to follow her into battle. She should’ve been relieved.

The scent of soap and man clouded her senses over the freezing air around them, but she couldn’t help but breathe a bit deeper. Wisps of his breath tickled the back of her neck. “There was no way you could’ve known about your partner. Bennett is a double agent. And he’s obviously very good at his job.”

From inside, footsteps echoed off the house’s original hardwood floors.

A gust of blistering cold brushed against her as she turned into him. He didn’t understand. She wasn’t blaming herself. “I’m not ashamed I didn’t see him for what he really was. I’m pissed off.”

The door swung open, the racking of a shotgun shell loud in her ears.

Glennon froze but didn’t raise her weapon. Physical tension radiated off Anthony as he moved to her side. Holstering her Glock, she smiled at the woman on the other end of the gun. “Hi, Mom.”

Green eyes, nearly the exact same color as hers, narrowed on her then widened. The older woman lowered the shotgun an inch but kept her wrinkled grip tight around the weapon. While other moms were teaching their
