THREE days later, her cell phone rang. Again. Kimber lifted her head from the couch in the family room at her dad’s house after dozing. Four o’clock in the afternoon. Wow, a whole eight minutes since the last time the phone rang. A quick peek at the caller ID revealed an unknown number.

Damn it.

Shaking her head, she flipped it open. “No comment.”

“Reporters?” her dad asked as she slammed the phone shut again.

“I assume so. I don’t talk long enough to find out.”

“No one threatening has called, have they?”

She shook her head. “How about you?”

Dad rubbed the back of his neck, where he kept all his tension. “A voice mail and a fax in the last three days. This asshole is a loon. I just don’t know how serious a loon.”

“Are you worried?”

He hesitated, grimaced, shrugged . . . then finally confessed, “Yeah. My gut tells me he’s real serious. I really want you to be careful when you leave the house.”

Kimber sat up. Her dad was hardly ever worried. Cautious, yes. But worried . . . This was a bad sign. Very bad. “What does he say in his messages?”

“Oh, the usual. Payback for busting him and testifying so that he did time. He missed out on his little girl growing up, blah, blah, blah.”

“Does that tell you who you’re dealing with?”

Her dad shook his head. “It could still be one of a dozen loons. Remember, I’ve been in business for nearly fifteen years. If you get a threatening call, you tell me. But I’d feel better if you just turned your phone off.”

Before she could respond, it rang again. Another unfamiliar number.

“No comment.” Kimber sighed and shook her head. When would these reporters get a clue?

“You’d probably feel better if you turned the phone off, too. Hell, girl. Those people are going to keep calling all day and all night as long as they know you’ll answer.” Her dad sounded every bit as irritated as she was.

“I know.”

“Then turn it off. Or are you keeping it on so that you can take another call from Jesse?”

Kimber grimaced. She really didn’t want to discuss this with him. “Dad . . .”

“I know he called again last night. Sounded like he begged you to come back.”

It had been three days since the engagement announcement and her departure. Since then, he’d called day and night, nearly as often as the reporters trying to get the scoop on their relationship and why she was no longer on tour with him. Just last night he’d called drunk and confessed that he was sleeping next to another girl whose name he didn’t know. And he was miserable.

“He’ll stop eventually.”

“Kimber, honey, underneath that tough exterior that Logan and Hunter beat into you as a kid, you have a soft heart,” he said warmly—a side of him he didn’t show to anyone but her, and it never failed to make her feel loved. “You need to tell that boy to move on with his life. Be firm.”

“I am, but it’s not that simple.
