“NASH?” MAISEY FOUND it difficult to say even her husband’s name. Her breathing tube had been removed and her throat ached and burned. But nothing could hurt worse than the knowledge that her son and now Everett were still missing and presumed dead.

“I’m right here, babe.” Her husband had been dozing in an armchair beside her. Maisey’s love for him was so much bigger and better than anything she’d ever prayed to find. Her love for her son? Somehow even more grand, because even though Nash wasn’t Joe’s biological father, the fact that he’d welcomed both her and her tiny son into his heart and soul had filled her to an indescribable degree.

Which was beautiful.

But also made their current situation all the more untenable.

Without her son, life felt impossible.

Hot, messy tears fell and refused to stop.

Nash silently rose, then lowered the rail on her hospital bed to gently draw her into his arms. “Everything’s going to be all right.”

“B-but what you said about the e-explosion, what—”

He drew back, framing her face with his big, strong hands. Meeting her tear-filled gaze he said, “I refuse to believe the worst, okay? Everett is one, tough S.O.B. If anyone can get our son safely home, it’s him.”

She nodded. Maisey wanted to believe her husband’s words were true, but another part of her was terrified that this time Vicente Rodriguez might ultimately win—even from beyond the grave.

“I love you.” Nash kissed her forehead and nose and finally, softly, her lips. “The doctor said you’re getting stronger by the hour. At the rate you’re improving, Nurse Olivia said they’ll soon be moving you out of ICU. Which means that by the time Everett and Briggs and Jasper get back with Joe, you’ll have ditched a bunch of these tubes and might even be home.”

“B-but what if Camilla doesn’t stop? What if we get Joe back only to lose him again?”

“We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. All you need to worry about is getting better. Joe needs his mom.” He kissed her. “I need my wife.”

I need you.

What Maisey didn’t need was to live the rest of her life fearing Camilla Rodriguez. The woman was even more insidious than her husband had been. And since she rarely left her compound, she’d be even more difficult to kill.

Maisey didn’t like thinking of herself as being capable of taking a life, but when it came to protecting her husband and son, all bets were off . . .
