Mia’s instinct was to run as far away as she could.

Not only to protect herself but to protect those around her who she cared about.

If Joleen had died because of her, she would never forgive herself for coming to the Crossties.

“We’re going to have to let Joleen’s family know about her death,” Joy said, her voice strained with emotions.

Mia’s stomach clenched. “She has a daughter?”

“Yes, she lives in Houston with her husband and three children. She’ll be devastated.”

More guilt heaped onto the pile.

“I’m so sorry, Joy. Sorry for Joleen and her family and . . . sorry for coming here.”

Joy brushed her hands down her apron then pulled Mia into a hug. “This is absolutely not your fault,” Joy said firmly.

Mia hugged the woman, but Joy’s reassuring words fell on deaf ears.

How could it not be her fault if Geoff had killed Joleen because of her?

A noise sounded outside, and Joy looked up, stricken. “What was that?”

Dusk had set, the sun already faded so night shadows plagued the land as Mia glanced out the window. A dozen different scenarios taunted her.

Geoff had called her only a few minutes ago. Was he in the woods watching now?

Perhaps sneaking up to the house to trap her while Alex and the other men were at the dining hall?

Had he killed Joleen to lure Alex away from her so he could gain easier access to her?

She grabbed the rifle and braced it by her side. “Stay here, Joy, I’ll be right back.”

If Geoff showed up, she’d be ready.

Suddenly a window crashed in the living room.

Mia raced to the hallway and screamed at Joy to run out the back just as smoke began to fill the room.
