NICK WAS SEVERAL STEPS past being furious. These SOBs had come onto his property, shot at Kelly and him and had planned to do God knows what. He wanted to find them and beat answers out of both of them.

But he stopped and thought of Kelly and the babies.

Running in a thick forest after two armed men wasn’t the brightest thing he could do. In fact, the men might be out there waiting to ambush him. If that happened, they might be able to gain access to the house. Or they might just grab Kelly and run.

Nick glanced behind him and confirmed that Kelly was still standing there.

Cursing and feeling totally useless that he couldn’t end this threat here and now, Nick turned around and raced toward her. She levered up and aimed her gun. She was watching his back. Nick was thankful for it, but he hated that she had to put herself in a situation like this. He’d lived with danger most of his life, but this wasn’t something Kelly should have to experience.

“Are you okay?” Kelly asked the moment he got to her.

He didn’t take the time to answer. Nick didn’t want her out in the open a second longer. She’d already had more than enough risks.

Nick caught her arm to get her moving, and they ran back into the house. Esther was there. Alarmed, of course. And she’d apparently called his head ranch hand because Zeke Dixon was there as well.

“What do you need me to do?” Zeke immediately asked. Nick trusted Zeke who’d been with him the entire time he’d owned the ranch.

“There’s plenty to do,” Nick answered. “First things first—did anyone find Cooper?”

Both Zeke and Esther shook their heads. Nick cursed again. Here, there’d been a major breach in security and his security manager wasn’t around—again. The same thing had happened the night Kelly came to the ranch and tried to sneak into the nursery.

“Zeke, when Sheriff Cross gets here, explain to him what’s going on. Have him send some deputies to search those woods.” Nick put his weapon back into his slide holster. “Esther, I need you to call Rosalinda McMillan, Eric’s former secretary. You’ll find her name in my Rolodex in my office. Ask her to come to the ranch immediately. I need to talk to her.”

“What does Eric’s former secretary have to do with this?” Kelly asked when Zeke and Esther hurried out to do what he’d asked of them.

“I need her to tell me everything she knows about Eric so that maybe I can get him arrested.” He left out the part about his working for the feds. For now. “That’s the only way these attacks are going to stop.”

Nick headed toward Cooper’s office, and Kelly was right behind him.

“What if she’s still loyal to Eric?” Kelly asked.

“I’ve considered that she might be stringing me along so she can report back to Eric that I’m out to get him. But Eric already knows I’d do just about anything to put him away, so she wouldn’t exactly be telling him anything new.
