Dedication:
This one’s for Morgan, who pushed, pulled and
prodded me through the whole process. And also for
Alvin and Suza, who are the most loyal and honest
test readers an author could want.

Chapter One
oonlight streaming through the den’s
windows was all the light Kyle needed. His
nimble fingers sent the tumbler in motion, flicking the
dial until the proper
click
sounded, then spinning the
dial in the opposite direction. The safe
chunked
and
Kyle’s fingers stopped. He grinned.
Finally
! He
opened the safe door, shone his penlight inside and…
They weren’t there! He reached inside, carefully
lifting the few items within the safe, but there were no
documents anywhere in the small compartment.
That was impossible! For a moment, he gaped in
disbelief at the safe’s interior. The papers had to be in
there. He’d seen Quince put them in himself just this
afternoon. Why would the boss take them back out?
But they certainly weren’t there and the whole reason
for this escapade was gone. Mind reeling in
confusion, Kyle closed the safe and replaced the small
framed photograph that hid it from view. Now what?
A hand clamped over his mouth and an arm
snaked around his chest. Kyle froze in shock. His
penlight dropped to the floor with a muffled
thunk
.

“What do you think you’re doing here?” a voice
demanded softly against his ear. The knitted cap he
wore over his head heated from his assailant’s breath.
He didn’t struggle as a much bigger body hauled
him back from the wall into the middle of the dark
room. He could see the shadows of the furniture just
fine and chanced a glance at the mirror over the bar to
the right. He and his captor were silhouetted against
the window. The man was a full head and shoulders
taller than him. Short, straight hair gleamed bright
blue in the moonlight.
Oh, no! It wasn’t…?
“Stupid little shit.” The low voice sounded more
amused than upset as the bigger man set Kyle
properly on his feet and spun him around.
Kyle looked up and couldn’t help but gasp.
Seth
?
There was no mistaking the older man’s angular face
and the almost sneering smile. The intense blue of his
deep-set eyes was hidden in the shadows of his sharp
brows. That white-blonde hair shone an eerie blue in
the moonlight, hanging loose and straight from the
crown of his head to his chin and in unruly bangs
over his eyes to the tip of his nose. For a brief
moment, Kyle could only stare in awe at the
perfection that was Seth, even in his anger.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Kyle flinched, tearing his eyes from Seth’s beauty
as his mind raced. He’d had stories ready for if he got
caught, but none for someone catching him with his
hand in the safe. Especially not Seth. The very
presence of the man sent Kyle’s thoughts in turmoil.
