True gunned the engine, enjoying the burst of power and speed, not even minding the frigid wind that blew past him. He’d needed to get away from the house, from the woman sleeping in his bed.

Once she’d fallen asleep, Honey had snuggled up close against his side. He’d enjoyed her mingled scents—something floral, feminine musk and sex—and had decided not to bathe before heading out because he’d wanted to let Honey’s smell linger just a little longer on his skin.

Not that he needed any reminders of what it had been like to be with her. She’d fit just right, her head on his shoulder, her hip snuggled against the side of his, her hand lying on his belly. He’d lifted it cautiously, not wanting to wake her, and measured the length of her small fingers against his. She was small and delicate, and yet she’d taken everything he’d given her.

Shame washed over him. He hadn’t been as patient as he should have been. She’d had things on her mind, memories so haunting he’d seen the shadows in her eyes, and he’d wanted to obliterate every one of them. Wanted to imprint himself on her.

But she wasn’t his to keep. He hadn’t the right to expect her to cleave to him alone, to forget about any other man she’d known before. And did he really want that?

He’d only dozed after that, waking to think about what he ought to do for her, how he could make it up to her. He’d wrestled with his own jealousy, his own hang-ups, but had concluded he needed to have a talk with his brother.

He drew close to the crest of the ridge and considered heading to her place. However, he still wasn’t sure what he’d say to her. Maybe he’d start by saying he was sorry.

The sound of another engine coming up behind him made him slow. Lonny pulled up alongside him.

“I took her home.”

True nodded, ignoring Lonny’s expression. His brother had a bone to chew, but True wasn’t in the mood. “How was she?”

“Brittle,” Lonny bit out. “She wouldn’t look me in the eye.”

True’s stomach sank. “I’ll go see her.”

“If I were you, I’d give her some time alone.”

True clenched his jaw. He didn’t want to listen to Lonny’s advice.

“Guess we should head back.” True glanced up at the ridge. “What the fuck?” He twisted the throttle. The snowmobile shot forward.

It had to have been a branch, a shadow…something other than what he suspected, but already he could smell it on the air.

Smoke.

He turned to Lonny, who rode beside him. “Honey!” he shouted, punching a finger toward the plume.

Lonny’s glance whipped toward the sky.

They crested the ridge. True’s stomach dropped. The cabin was fully engulfed. He searched the clearing but didn’t see a sign of Honey. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

He started forward, but Lonny cut in front of him, halting him. “The lean-to, bro,” he shouted.

An explosion rocked the clearing. Burning timbers flew into the sky.

True ducked, raising an arm against the bright light,
