Sam knew calling her brother was a mistake the second the connection was made. Pressing the cordless phone to her ear, she sank on the edge of the bed in the guest room and rolled a pair of thick wool socks onto her bare feet, trying not to groan at her brother’s accusatory tone.

“You said it was only going to be one day,” Beau grumbled from the other end of the line, not bothering with pleasantries like Hello or How are you.

She could practically picture that telltale crease of worry on her brother’s forehead. “There was a change of plans.”

Sarcasm poured freely from his voice. “Yeah, everyone knows you’re alive. Tell those FBI agents they did a stand-up job.”

“It was my fault. I’m the one who wanted to visit Elaine again.”

“I never took you for a fool, Sammy. What if this maniac comes after you again?”

“It’ll be okay,” she said, amazed by the steadiness of her voice. “I promise.”

“Shouldn’t I be the one who says that?”

“Yeah, but I know you don’t believe it.”

“Do you?”

Her peripheral vision caught a flash of movement. Turning her head, she found Blake leaning against the doorframe. It only took one glance in his direction to bring a rush of reassurance through her body.

“Yeah, I believe it’ll be okay. The FBI will protect me.”

“They’d better. Tell that agent you’re staying with that if one hair on your head is harmed, I will come after him.”

She smothered back a grin. “I’ll pass the message along.”

She hung up the phone and fixed her gaze on Blake. He looked dead serious, the graveness of his eyes causing a small wave of alarm to wash over her.

“Is everything okay?” she asked.

He hesitated for a moment. “Something’s happened.”

“What is it?”

“Someone paid a visit to your house this morning.”

Her heart stopped. “The farmhouse in Wellstock? I thought that location was supposed to be secure!”

“Not the farmhouse, Sam. I’m talking about the house you lived in before your, uh, death.”

“But it was sold two months ago. Someone broke in?” Her anxiety escalated faster than a fighter jet in takeoff. “Were the new owners hurt?”

He shook his head slowly.

The alarm in her chest deepened to full-blown panic, constricting her airways. “Tell me what happened, Blake,” she squeaked out.

He spoke in a flat tone. “The new owners are vacationing in the Caribbean and aren’t due back for a couple more weeks. The neighbor who’d been collecting their mail called the police reporting that the front yard is covered with roses. Hundreds of them.”

Her body shook so hard it was almost impossible to get out the next words. “He was there…at my old house?”

A grim look darkened Blake’s eyes. “It seems the Rose Killer has decided to deliver a message.”
