A CARGO PLANE, somewhat larger and a great deal less luxurious than the one in which she and Logan had arrived in Colombia, took them to a small airstrip near Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, a stone’s throw from the Texas border. Dumb as a post, Hector Caldarone turned out to be a pretty good pilot considering what he had to work with. There was only one point where Erin thought she might lose the breakfast she’d hastily wolfed down that morning. But things had settled down once the aircraft had skidded to a halt.

On the ground there wasn’t much to see outside the primitive airstrip and the waiting SUVs. A panel van sporting the logo of a well-known courier service arrived shortly after they landed. Four armed men stood silently by, most likely awaiting instructions. The Caldarone brothers spoke quietly to one of the men while several of the others hurriedly hid the plane in a dilapidated barn-turned-warehouse nearby. The group was then separated into three teams. She and Logan would ride with Hector and Carlos. Two of the men would stay behind to guard the plane, while the others climbed into the remaining vehicles.

A short time later, they were in position. According to Carlos’s briefing, the truck was headed to the military’s newest training center in an undisclosed area of southern Texas. The weapons they carried were a new prototype that would make the M16 and its subsequent upgrades obsolete.

This information meant little to Erin other than it was probably dangerous. It amazed her that she was standing here, beneath the scorching Texas sun waiting for a load of military weapons to arrive so she could help steal them.

The reality erupted inside her like a train exploding from a dark tunnel. She could be killed in the next few minutes. People who stole things—especially weapons—were, more often than not, shot at. She didn’t know how to do any of this. She was just a computer security analyst with too much time on her hands. One who’d been tricked into breaking the law. Just look where that momentary stupidity had gotten her.

Laughter bubbled into her throat. This was insane. She turned to Logan and almost said as much…almost. She opened her mouth and nothing came out. Her heart slammed so mercilessly against her sternum that she simply could not speak. Yet he looked as cool as the proverbial cucumber.

She could not do this.

No way.

She didn’t belong here.

Trouble. Logan saw it in Bailey’s eyes. He’d seen that look one other time and she’d gone postal on him then. He glanced furtively at the other men lounging patiently near their vehicles. This was not a good time for her to lose it. His gaze landed back on hers at the same time her hand went slack and the weapon there dropped to the ground.

Damn.

If anyone noticed… He did the only thing he could. He grabbed her by the shoulders and kissed her. Kissed her hard. She whimpered at first and shoved against his chest, but he just kissed her that much harder.
