Daniela had no idea why Logan had insisted she be the one to tell his brother what had happened the night before. It was the very crack of daybreak and the poor man must’ve been dragged out of bed for absolutely no reason. Nick was half a world away, and she was pretty sure he’d rather hear the story from Logan, but his older brother had brought her a cup of coffee—exactly the way she liked it—and disappeared to do “Important Things.”

After talking to Nick Cutter for twenty minutes, she put the phone down and yawned. She’d woken at some godforsaken hour to Dog wanting to go out, and as she’d opened her door, Logan had been about to go into his cabin next door. There’d been a moment there when they’d just stared at one another, and her heart had skittered.

She didn’t remember going back to her cabin after he’d teased and tormented her, and she didn’t remember letting Dog in. Clearly Logan had done both. She’d woken to find herself in her bunk, Logan’s cashmere blanket wrapped around her, Dog sprawled across her feet.

Despite the brevity, she’d slept, she realized, like a rock. The first time that had happened in months. Even during her two-day rest, she’d slept lightly.

Logan had fed her some story about his middle brother being worried, and asked her to give Nick the details. She didn’t have many of those, but she gave it her best shot. His brother was charming, and funny, and surprisingly quite chatty.

Daniela placed the emerald bowl she’d been holding back on Logan’s desk. It really was quite beautiful. And worth, she guessed, a large fortune on the open market. That side of the family had had the damn thing for hundreds of years. It stunned her that they hadn’t sold it at some point.

Apparently each generation had believed that the La Daniela treasure was worth a lot more than a giant stone.

She was just about to get up and turn on the television to watch the news, when the door opened. She used her momentum to head for the door. She didn’t want a face-to-face with Logan this early in the morning.

“All done?” he asked easily, stepping inside, but leaving the door open. He was alone. No Dog in sight. He’d changed into royal blue swim trunks and a red muscle shirt, and his feet were shoved into deck shoes, no socks. He’d shaved, and looked bright-eyed and delicious.

Daniela’s heart skipped several beats. “I’m sure he wanted you to tell him. I told him what I knew, but he wants you to call him later.”

“Yeah. I’ll do that. We’re still checking out your cousins.

“How about that guy you thought was in South Africa?”

“He’s still in Cape Town. He could’ve sent someone else to do the job, but that’s not Case’s style. We’ve ruled him out for now. Want breakfast?” Apparently perfectly at ease, he was blocking the door.

No. She did not want to sit across a table from him and attempt to swallow.
