Brooke rolled over in bed, stretching out. She’d lit a lavender and eucalyptus candle on her dresser and sprayed a relaxation mist she’d picked up last week. Anything that could help the drumming of her heart settle.

Emmy and Logan had come out and processed the house, alarm system, and garage. They found numerous prints, some belonging to Brodie in the garage, but as he’d spent time there while they were dating, that couldn’t prove anything. But they didn’t have to let him know that, according to Noah, who was going to pay him another visit in the morning.

But tonight, Noah was on her couch. He’d insisted on staying, not liking the escalation of the threat. Not only had Brodie been in her home, he’d caused a lot of damage, and his intrusion was a clear sign that he wanted her to doubt that she was truly safe in Noah’s care. But it hadn’t worked—at least not the latter. Noah was the first man she felt secure with in longer than she could remember. He was as stable as they came. A good agent and a good man.

Brooke blinked at the flame’s shadow dancing along the ceiling. Rumor around base was that Noah wasn’t much for dating. Sort of a self-proclaimed bachelor. She’d met a few in her day, but they were rare. She’d just assumed he was committed to his job or not the relationship type, but tonight when he’d talked about understanding making bad choices when it came to relationships, his face had an edge of hurt to it. Perhaps Mr. Handsome had more reasons for remaining single than she knew.

Fluffing the pillow and resituating, she looked to the window. She always kept it cracked, but not tonight. Noah recommended everything be locked up tight, and considering someone had hacked her alarm system, she couldn’t agree more.

She stared at the drawn shade, wondering if Brodie was out there watching, planning his next point of attack. Her jaw clenched, heat burning through her. She was done allowing him to scare, hurt, or intimidate her. He knew how much she loved that VW, all the memories of adventures and fun it held for her. He’d hit her where it hurt, but contrary to what he’d tried to accomplish, he’d only ticked her off. Lifting her pillow, she looked at her service weapon and smiled. Next time he came, she’d be ready. If Noah didn’t kill him first.
