Chapter 13

Even in deep sleep, Kade heard his phone vibrate. Morning light spilled onto the bed, where he had made the most amazing love with a woman he was supposed to kill. He had no doubt that he’d made the right decision, but the consequences were going to be tricky as hell. Because keeping Violet alive was now the most important thing in his life.

Her dark hair spilled across her pillow, eyelashes fanning her cheeks as she slept. Her mouth curved in a slight smile, and her fingers twitched where they lay on the bed between them. He wanted to wake her and lose himself in her again. They had connected in a way he’d never done with anyone. And he had no idea what to do about it either.

He rolled out of bed and grabbed his pants, then went into the bathroom. When he came out a few minutes later, she was still asleep. He stepped outside and squinted in the bright sunshine. Chumley followed him and wandered out to the yard, though the dog kept an eye on Kade. Maybe he wasn’t used to seeing strange men at Violet’s house. Kade liked that idea way too much.

Birds called to one another in the trees, and in the distance, he heard an engine. Kade couldn’t put off reading the text he’d heard come in earlier, assuming it was from Ferro. Kade had to buy time with some valid excuse. But it wasn’t a text from his boss; it was from Mia: CALL ME ASAP!

Uh-oh. “What did he want?” And please get to the point.

“First it was about Dad. Tell me, Kade, did he get involved with some woman in the prison and die trying to break her out?”

Hell. “He told you that?” He smacked the trunk of a pine tree.

“Yes, and I wanted to tell him he was full of shit, but he’s a superior officer, so I had to sit there and stuff my shock and disgust. Which you know is very hard for me. So now I’m asking you: who’s the one full of shit?”

Damn, it wasn’t Ferro’s place to tell her that. “I fudged the truth.”

“Fudged!” She took a deep breath, and he knew her pain because he’d felt it, too.

“You were seven at the time and didn’t need to know all that. Later…I wanted you to consider him someone to look up to.”

“That’s why Mom killed herself, isn’t it? The scandal? The betrayal.”

“I’ve always thought so. But I don’t know the whole story about our father. We can’t be sure that he was romantically involved with this woman. I’m
