Book Excerpt
Jane was in the garage, bending over and touching her toes when the door opened behind her.
“Going somewhere?” Danny stood there, shirtless.
Jane stood up abruptly and swallowed, trying to focus on his eyes, not his impeccably chiseled pecs with the perfect amount of hair dusting them. “I’ve been restricted to indoor running the last few days and need the fresh air.”
“Give me five minutes and I’ll join you. I need to talk to you about an assignment.”
“All right, try not to wake the baby.” She smiled.
He held her gaze for a moment, then turned to go get dressed.
“Both of the babies are still sleeping,” Danny said when he rejoined her.
Trying very hard not to be disappointed seeing him wearing a shirt, she opened the exterior door. Bodies like his shouldn’t be covered up.
As they started down the street, she could feel Danny’s eyes on her.
“What got you?” He gestured to her thigh.
“Shrapnel. What about this assignment?” A change of subject might keep her from having to answer questions about the white scars on the right side of her body from neck to thigh. When she’d dressed in running shorts and singlet, she hadn’t expected anyone to see her up close.
“I want you to guard Liz at my beach house in Georgia. She’s building her own house next door, but it’s not ready yet, and she sold her condo already. I don’t want her to be alone because of the pregnancy, and I want her protected from prying eyes, freeloaders, and reporters.”
Jane didn’t say anything. Not surprised he would stick her with another babysitting job, she tried to think of the positives. It was unlikely she’d get shot, unless it was with a camera. She’d never been to Georgia, and a house on the beach sounded like a good place to start.
