He wasn’t sure he liked being called “nice”. “I’ll be in the den if you need me.”

She nodded and took off toward the front door. She had changed out of her riding clothes into a skirt and a lacey top. He loved her in feminine clothes. They accentuated her curves. He waited until the door closed behind her before he put the phone to his ear. “Still there, Lambert?”

“What’s going on?” Ken asked.

“It’s okay now. So what’s the good news?” Chase walked to the stairs and sat on a step, his gaze on Nikki, whom he could see through the window. She was still on the phone and was smiling. Funny how her smile filled him with relief.

“First, Ms. Marshal had her last surgery this morning. My informant thinks they’ll pull her out of the coma in a week or so.”

Then she had to deal with scars, physical and mental issues, and Keira’s lawsuit. Chase felt sorry for the woman, but there was nothing he could do about that.

“That’s the good news?” Chase asked.

“No. Remember I told you I was checking a different angle?”

“Yeah, the big secret you couldn’t divulge.”

“We hit pay dirt. I’m sending you a link. It connects to our surveillance archive. One of my people got surveillance footage from the hospital where your ex-girlfriend was undergoing treatment for her burns. On her first day there, a man visited her. He didn’t stay long and left in a hurry, but he never came back to visit her again. Take a look at the video and call me back.”

“Just tell me—”

“Watch the video, Chase, and you’ll see why we want to find this mysterious man. I want to know if you know him. We were lucky to get that surveillance footage. I’ll wait for your call.”

The line went dead. Frowning, Chase stood and headed for the den. Dean was still on the computer. He looked up. “I need to tweak the photographs a bit, but I’m going to leave the memory card. The two of you can choose the ones you want, place them in a separate folder, and save them in the Dropbox. Do you have one?”

“No, but I’m sure Nikki can set up one for me.”

“Okay. I’ll leave my e-mail so she can add me to her list of contacts.” Dean scribbled his e-mail on a piece of paper. “I can work on them as soon as I get them.”

“Great! Nikki will be pleased.”

“And pleasing her is important to you,” Dean said with certainty as he slowly got to his feet.

“Something like that.”

Dean grinned, walking toward Chase. “Then you are a lucky man. It’s obvious your interest is returned.”

Chase chuckled. “I know that, too.”

“But if you let her get away—”

“Get out of here, Dean.”

“Just saying.” He slapped Chase on the back. “I still hope to convince her to create a website for my ranch.”

“She’s worth every penny, so don’t go shortchanging her,” Chase warned.

“Don’t forget Sunday dinner. Bring Nikki.”

Chase wasn’t ready to share Nikki with anyone. Not until he knew where they stood.
