IT WAS TWO DAYS BEFORE the New Year and with things at work moving along at high speed, Rhiann had little time to worry about her personal life. That didn’t mean, however, that she’d gotten very much sleep since she’d returned home.

She’d decided not to make a big deal of what might or might not have happened at her apartment because, in the end, she just wasn’t sure. That was until on a two AM bathroom run, a stray thought popped into her head that had her scrambling for the living room. She peeked under a side table for the cast-aside Christmas gift she’d foolishly gotten for Liam. It wasn’t there.

After that startling discovery, sleep or anything that resembled relaxation was off the menu.

Not sure what to do, she struck up a conversation with the security guard who worked in the office building where the Passion offices were located and asked for his opinion.

Retired from the NYPD, Mr. Cormack or Mac as those who took the time to befriend him knew him as, was a no-nonsense guy who ran the building’s security office with an iron fist and didn’t take shit from anyone.

The person or persons involved knew they had all the time in the world to carefully go through her home while also covering their tracks.

Life in the big city, right?

Mac told her to change out her locks and offered to send one of his old policeman buddies to her apartment to do a quick security assessment and make suggestions to help her feel safer. Unfortunately, this type of under-the-radar crime rarely was reported because there was truly so little to go on.

So, she fretted when she was home and got up every hour or two during the night to make sure everything was locked tight. No sleep plus the non-stop stress of a huge work assignment was making her a little off.

Today, she was in full-tilt-boogie mode, with the big New Year’s Eve event looming large in her thoughts. Rhiann and her team had been in the studio all day with a handful of models posing for the staged photos that would accompany the outdoor shots.
