MEETING JULIANA HAD changed him, corroded the detachment that he wore like armor when he was working on a job. Feeling as if his heart were suspended in midair, Hunter monitored her every movement on the bank of television screens connected to covert video cameras planted inside and outside the cathedral. He took note of everyone who spoke to her or even looked at her. And made sure her bodyguards were doing their job.

Juliana was too precious to Cort to lose. And somehow, in the long dark hours of their wedding night as Hunter had waited for her to wake, she’d become infinitely precious to him.

Though he knew she was frightened about being the target of a killer and worried sick about her father, you’d never know it by looking at her. She had her chin up and was lending Annette moral support.

He was so damn proud of her! Grace under pressure. Even when she cried, she wiped her eyes with a quiet dignity and carried on. No histrionics.

Disguised in a groundskeeper’s uniform, dark glasses and a thick mustache, Hunter attended the interment, which had been limited to Annette and the household staff. As the short ceremony ended, the wind tore savagely through the trees and the swollen clouds above split their gray under-bellies. Rain pounded into the ground as the staff scuttled into limousines that would take them back to the Collingwood estate for the reception. Hunter and Investigator Bradshaw followed behind in an unmarked car.

Upon arriving at the estate and making his way to the command center the troopers had set up, Hunter’s tension jackknifed. More covert cameras had been planted in the house to record the reception, but there were many holes in the coverage.

If something happened to Juliana, he’d never forgive himself.
