“Leave the dogs here with me and go back to the house.”

Adam turned to look at Sinclair, his cousin having fallen into step beside him as he and the two Rottweilers slowly walked the perimeter. Bright spotlights illuminated the whole area. “Those same vicious guard dogs were eating biscuits out of Cara’s hand a short time ago. It isn’t funny,” he muttered when his cousin looked as if he was trying to hold back a smile.

“Don’t blame them for doing something you would do in a heartbeat, except it isn’t her biscuits you want to eat,” Sinclair derided. “Not that I can fault you or the dogs. The Ferrari-Smythe women are pretty difficult to resist. Not to me,” he dismissed impatiently when Adam gave him a sharp look. “I’m just really pleased for both you and Max.”

Adam shook his head. “I’m pleased for Max too, but there’s no reason for you to feel that way about me.”

“Adam—”

“Please don’t be a bloody hypocrite and attempt to lecture me on trusting and letting someone in. Or allowing myself to fall in love. Not when you aren’t willing to do that for yourself,” he warned gruffly.

A spasm of pain twisted Sinclair’s features. “My circumstances are different.”

“It’s been five years, Sin. More. You can’t go on grieving for Cathy forever.”

“I can do whatever the fuck I please,” the other man bit out. “Now go back to the house. You’re bleeding all over your damned T-shirt again.” He whistled for the dogs to follow him before striding off without a second glance.

Adam watched him for a few seconds longer. What he saw was a lone, and very alone, man, who, for the past five years, had deliberately cut himself off from all warmth and emotion.

Sinclair and Cathy had met and fallen in love at university and married shortly after they both graduated. Sinclair had turned his business degree into being CEO of a multimillion-pound cyber security company, with his youngest brother Casper as COO. The two of them as a team had been formidable, Sinclair having the business savvy, Casper notably one of the top hackers in the world. He had used that ability to hack into and then devise ways to protect multiple high-profile companies from having anyone else do the same.

When Adam and the brothers had decided to form their own security and protection company, they had pooled all their skills and exponentially expanded the services they offered. The business had boomed, and they had very quickly become one of the leading security companies in the world.

Then five years ago, Cathy had been kidnapped and killed.

By hacking into several security systems until he found the right one, Casper had discovered that some mercenaries had been employed by one of their competitors to abduct Cathy.

It had been meant to be a way of proving Kingston Security couldn’t protect one of its own, and so bringing the company’s reputation into question.

But once the mercenaries had Cathy, they had ignored their instructions to release her and had killed her instead.
