Chapter Seventeen

Merk bent at the waist and braced his hands on his knees in the middle of the destroyed bar. Desiree stood in the back entrance, afraid to enter the room. She barely recognized the man who only a half hour ago made love to her.

Feeling foolish for not having recognized her James under the beard, the tattoos, and the long hair. The man who'd tried to protect her and ended up killing her father.

She pressed her hand to her chest and dropped her chin at realizing the harm she'd done. Her chest squeezed. On that terrible night, the sheriff had asked her to describe the men in the basement at the time of the shooting. She refused to talk.

The next morning, Sheriff Colby showed up at the bar and Pop asked her to look at some pictures. The whole time, she never thought of the consequences of picking up the pictures or asking Pop the name of the man with the shaved head and blue eyes.

The sheriff said the man's name was James. She already knew, so she asked if she could keep the picture. That's all she remembered, because the sheriff took the photo from her, thanked Pop, and never came back to ask her anymore questions.

She wiped her eyes and looked up. In her childish eagerness to know more about James, she'd mistakenly sent Merk to prison. It was her fault he'd gone away and never came back.

"I gave myself completely to you, believed your story about needing protection against Reds, and you used me." She walked into the bar and stopped. "Pop's gone, my furniture is broken, and you've left me nothing, except shame for giving you the benefit of the doubt."

Merk straightened, his shoulders heaving. She stared a hole in his back.

"If you want to finish what you've set out to do, turn around, and face me. I want to see the man who will put a bullet in my head." She dropped her hands to her sides.

"What do you think I want from you?" he asked, pivoting toward her.

She moistened her lips and shook her head slowly. "You've given me enough clues, I should've known, but I was too caught up in my fascination with you to listen. You had me feeling things for you and excited during one of the worst times of my life with Pop dying. You've succeeded if you've come back to make me pay for telling the sheriff your name. There's nothing left for you to take from me, except my life."

"You have no fucking clue what I'm thinking." His pained gaze bored into her. "For
