Makenna stared at the information in the report and tried not to think about the almost kiss with Bubba. He had been about to kiss her. She knew it, could see it in his eyes. And she’d wanted him to. At least until Natasha had shown up and ruined everything. She had a knack for that, but Makenna couldn’t blame Natasha this time. She was asking what everyone else wanted to know. When was she going to find this killer and put a stop to him?

Besides, it wasn’t Natasha’s fault that Makenna was sitting here with a stomach full of conflicting emotions. No, that was completely her fault. She shouldn’t have told Bubba they needed to stay strictly professional. They did, at least until this case was over, but now she was afraid he’d taken her words to mean she had no interest in him and that was about as far from the truth as one could get. Since she’d driven to Fire Beach to get him, her mind had warred between thoughts of the killer and thoughts of Bubba.

She had tried convincing herself that the thoughts of him were just feelings of remorse for his lost years, but she knew that wasn’t true. Thoughts of remorse wouldn’t have her imagining what his hands would feel like on her neck, in her hair. And they certainly wouldn’t have her imagining what his lips might feel like pressed against her own. But she’d had to go and ruin it.

She hadn’t told him how much she enjoyed salami, so she was surprised he had returned with an Italian sandwich for her. He was definitely surprising. And dedicated. His eyes were focused on the paper in front of him as well. He’d offered to help her go through the list of Dustin’s clients as they ate, and though she could have had Tad or Kelsey do it, she’d agreed. She enjoyed spending time with him, even if it was searching for a killer, and she knew she would miss it when he was gone.

Gone. She needed to keep reminding herself of that fact too. When this case ended, he would probably return to Fire Beach and then where would she be? Alone. Again.

Makenna hadn’t meant to marry her work, but it had sort of happened. In the beginning, she had thrown herself into the job in order to learn and prove herself, but then the case five years ago had happened. When everyone else had left, she quickly climbed the ladder, and once she made captain, she rarely had time for anything else. Or anyone else.

Still, she couldn’t deny the feelings. She
