Chapter 10

Sam took a picture of the note, then texted Avery and sent the picture as an attachment. Avery texted right back.

“Just help him keep it together tonight. Take pictures of the crowd. Maybe the creep will show.

They wouldn’t know who he was, but she and Avery had discussed doing this at all the stops. That way if there was someone who showed up each time they’d have a face to focus on.

On the way to the store she did her best to calm Blake down and help him gather himself for the book signing. She hated to see him so rattled, but she could hardly blame him. This guy, whoever he was, knew exactly how to stick the knife in and twist it.

She’d spent some of the time in Arrowhead Bay doing a lot of reading about Blake Morgan. The world could find out anything it wanted to know about the man just by doing a global search online.

She’d learned he was well respected in the industry, that his books got excellent reviews and that with the fourth book he’d finally hit the best-seller lists. When she checked his social media pages she discovered he had thousands of Facebook likes and more than fifty thousand Twitter followers. Scoping out his photo album on Facebook she discovered that he never posed with just one woman unless it was a reader, and that his readers apparently mobbed him for pictures.

She asked herself over and over how a guy who had grown up to be a decent human being could have acquired someone so vicious as this stalker. There was no hint, not on social media or in any of the articles she’d read, of anything he might have done to engender this kind of situation.

All this reading also gave her a clearer insight into the man he’d become. Maybe she could let herself believe what he said. God knew she wanted to very badly. Those feelings she’d kept buried all these years were battering at the wall she kept around them. But she worried things were moving too fast, not at all the way she’d insisted that day in the Driftwood. And then there was her past, and all the mistakes she’d made. How did she get beyond that?

God, what a mess.

But right now, she reminded herself, her focus was on Blake. She done her best to settle him before they left the hotel. Now she sensed him pulling himself together and donning the personality of the public Blake Morgan. When they exited the car in the parking lot behind the store, someone not familiar with him would see a man relaxed and ready to meet his public. Only Sam, or someone else who knew him well, would catch the telltale tightening of his jaw or the haunted look in his eyes.

Chelsea Hanover, the store manager, was waiting for them when they rang the bell for the back door.

“We’re so excited to have you, Mr. Morgan.” She smiled as she led them inside.
