Panic pressed heavily on Spencer’s heart as he watched the van race away with Keeli locked inside—with that animal Luther Mills. How the hell had that happened?

He cursed as he ran toward the parking garage and the unmarked detective’s vehicle Keeli had parked there when they’d arrived at the courthouse. Footsteps echoed his and he turned, with his weapon drawn, to make sure none of Luther’s crew was trying to stop him.

Parker Payne was at his heels. “Where the hell are you going?” Keeli’s boss asked him.

“I have to try to catch them!” Spencer said. He was not about to lose Keeli—not that he actually had her. Except for that one night...

But he was beginning to believe that had all been just a dream, that it had never really happened. That they had never actually been together like that—out of control with desire for each other.

“You can’t!” Parker snapped. “Didn’t you hear Luther’s threats?”

Keeli’s boss must have caught up with them just as they’d been heading out that back door to the alley. Spencer hadn’t noticed Parker or anyone else, though. He’d been too focused on her, too focused on that damn gun pressed to her head.

Should he have tried to take the shot? But that would have meant risking Luther squeezing the trigger as he went down, taking Keeli with him.

“I’m damn sick of Luther’s threats,” Spencer said. Luther’s reign of terror was why Keeli was in danger in the first place—because she had been assigned to protect him from the crime boss.

Now Spencer needed to protect her. Keeli was in far more danger than he had ever been. She was the one who had been kidnapped. Why had Luther taken her? Just to make sure he got away? Or to kill her?

“Luther’s making good on some of those threats,” Parker said.

Spencer stopped running as dread gripped him. He hadn’t been in the courtroom when the shooting started. He’d been in the men’s restroom while Keeli had been using the ladies’. And once the shooting had started, he’d thought only of finding her but, unfortunately, Luther had found her first. Now he wondered what had happened to everyone else.

“Who’s dead?” he asked anxiously. Spencer knew that, since his arrest nine weeks ago, Luther Mills had threatened to eliminate everyone associated with his trial: the eyewitness, the crime scene tech, even the judge’s daughter, the assistant district attorney prosecuting his case and Spencer. Some of these people were Spencer’s colleagues, some of them friends as well. “Or hurt?”

Parker flinched. “The chief.”

Woodrow Lynch wasn’t just the man who’d hired Parker’s security agency for extra protection for everyone associated with the trial. Lynch was also Parker’s stepfather. Parker had already lost one father—years ago.

Spencer reached out and gripped his former coworker’s shoulder. “Is he...?”

“Not dead,” Parker said with a shake of his head. But Spencer didn’t release the breath he held until the man added, “Just a shoulder wound.”

Now he sighed. But then the breath jammed up again in his lungs when he thought of Keeli—alone with a killer.
