Sabrina shifted slightly in her hospital bed, only to suck in a sharp breath as her shoulder seemed to burn. The doctor had given her something for the pain, but it only made it bearable as long as she was relatively still. Whenever she inadvertently moved the wrong way, she paid for it.

Sweat breaking out on her brow, she squeezed her eyes shut and waited for the throbbing to ease, silently cursing her own weakness. She didn’t have time to be laid up, she told herself. Not now. Not when the biggest story of the decade was wrapping up and she had the inside scoop. She had to get out of here and over to the Daily Record. Nearly twenty-four hours had already passed since Louis had deliberately shot her in the back, and if she didn’t get her version of the story out soon, it was going to be old news and worthless.

Fighting pain and exhaustion, she’d read both papers from front to back page, cursing what she was missing. After Louis’s arrest, the police had searched his house, where a diary was found hidden under the mattress of his bed. In it, he’d described how he’d met his victims at the bookstore and grocery store, even the flower shop and a singles’ club, then proceeded to make friends with each of them. And when they didn’t fall in love with him, he killed them.

With her out of commission, Fitz had assigned someone to follow up the story—a cub who had done a decent enough job and who would, with time, develop his own style and ask all the right questions. But for now, he’d missed more than a few pertinent details, which made Sabrina itch to get out of bed and reclaim her rightful spot in the pecking order. He didn’t do the job like she did and wasn’t even in the same ballpark, let alone the same league, with Blake.

Her heart constricting just at the thought of him, she felt stupid tears well in her eyes and quickly blinked them away. She would not, she told herself fiercely, cry over the man. Just because he was too busy writing up the rest of the news about Louis to come and see her didn’t mean she was going to get all watery-eyed. He’d get around to visiting her eventually. And when he did, she’d tell him what she thought of a man who took advantage of a woman with a bullet in her shoulder just to win a bet.

It wasn’t as if she cared about him, she thought as a hurt ten times more powerful than the one in her shoulder lodged in her heart. Okay, so maybe she had let him get to her just a bit. She wasn’t made of stone. The man was damn attractive and the kind of lover that most women would sell their soul for. If her heart wanted more from him than a few nights, a few weeks, in his bed, then no one would ever know that but her.
