Nick stalked back to the bungalow. Frustration and anger battled with the knowledge that he'd nearly lost control.

His own affairs were for pleasure, not for commitment, and every woman he'd ever been with knew it. Mary Beth wouldn't know how to deal with such an arrangement. He'd never wanted anything else. Until now—when it would destroy the foundation of so many lives.

Because Mary Beth Williams was the sort of woman who would want honesty and a tomorrow. He could give her neither.

The reality of General Antonio Vargas made it all impossible.

But God, how he ached.

The vision of her, the remembered feel of her, the pleasure, all combined to make him hard again. With sudden clarity, he realized that even if he could have her once, really have her, it wouldn't be enough. She meant too much.

To save her pride, he'd used the concern for an unwanted pregnancy, but he'd never even thought of it. He hadn't thought about anything except getting inside her.

He pulled on clean clothes, jerking a shirt over his head. He would be gone by the time she got back. Gone so she wouldn't look into his heart and see the truth. She'd proved she had the ability to do just that. He had to get a grip on the situation. Had to focus on the reasons they were here.

Mary Beth wanted to find her brother, Nick wanted to protect his. Only one thing really mattered: Daniel's connection to Mark Williams had to be found or Nick would fail his brother.

Again.

Nick's questions took him to the market. Juan Marco had no woman here. The old women who sold vegetables all agreed. He was a loner. A friendly, good-natured man who had no close friends. A man who'd disappeared as quickly as he'd appeared. Then another woman remembered that Juan had formed a friendship with an old man and his grandson. He'd even helped them with their house. That woman directed Nick to a boy named Beto, seated on a blanket at the edge of the market.

He was thirteen or so, good-looking, with the angular features that indicated he was on the verge of maturity. Before him lay used magazines and comic books. Nick squatted down to look at the old titles. The boy stared at him, wide-eyed.

"How much?" he asked, fingering an old Spider-Man comic.

The boy mumbled a price, his black eyes intent on Nick's face.

Nick took the money from his pocket and handed it to the boy. "I am looking for Juan Marco," he said, dropping the coins into the boy's palm.

Silence met his question.

"I am told you know him."

"Sí." Beto eyed him suspiciously. He put the change into his pocket before speaking. "Is that woman his sister?"

"Yes, she is."

"They are much alike, no?"

"What do you know about Juan?"

Nick had nearly given up waiting when the boy finally spoke. "He was taken. With my grandfather."

"What are you talking about?"

"El rubio, the man called Juan Marco, he was taken with my grandfather."

"By who?"

"Men." The boy straightened his shirt.
