Sundown had come and gone while they were inside Milly’s Restaurant on the outskirts of Larner’s Mill. They exited the lively establishment into a crowded parking lot as the scent of hickory smoke from the inside grill coated the damp night air.

Glory walked silently beside Wyatt as they wove their way through the unevenly parked cars, absorbing the comfort of his presence even though she was unable to voice what she was feeling. And truth be known, she wasn’t certain she could put into words the emotions swirling inside her head. All she knew was she wanted this man as she’d never wanted another.

A couple got out of a car just ahead of them, and paused and stepped aside, giving Wyatt and Glory room to pass.

Pleasantries were traded, and then they walked on just as someone shouted Wyatt’s name. He turned. It was the chief of police.

Anders Conway stepped off the curb and started toward them while Glory’s good mood began dissipating.

“Oh, great,” she muttered. “I’m not in the mood for any more of that man’s sharp-edged doubt. Wyatt, could I please have the keys? I’d rather wait for you in the car.”

He slipped his hand beneath the weight of her hair, caressing the back of her neck in a gentle, soothing touch, then handed her the keys without comment.

But berating himself for bad luck wasn’t Bo Marker’s style. All he needed was a change of plans, and when Glory Dixon suddenly walked away from her watchdog companion, Marker smiled. It creased his wide, homely face like cracks down the side of a jar. He leaned forward, hunching his great bulk behind the wheel of the car, and when Glory Dixon moved into the open, he quietly shifted from Park to Drive, and then stomped on the gas.

Bo Marker had stolen wisely. The souped-up hot rod could go from zero to sixty in seconds. The engine roared, coming to life like a sleeping lion. Tires squalled, gravel flew, and the car fishtailed slightly as he shot out of a parked position, down the short driveway toward the highway beyond, and right into Glory Dixon’s path.

At the sound, Glory looked up and found herself staring straight into the blinding glare of headlights on high beam. Before she could think to react, a weight caught her from behind in a flying tackle, and before she had time to panic, Wyatt’s arms surrounded her as they went rolling across the gravel.
