When the FBI brings Laura Roberts - a quiet, reserved bookkeeper - in for questioning regarding activities at the warehouse where she works, an uneasy Laura resigns her job - only to be attacked by thugs.
Chase Donovan intends to spend a few peaceful days on his boat getting his head together - and finds a woman being assaulted by two men who say his father told them to do it.
Chase doesn't want to believe his father could hurt anyone. Laura doesn't understand why she's a target. Can they learn to work together to discover the truth - before someone dies?
Excerpt:
Laura is having
lunch at the local diner when two FBI agents approach her and insist she come
down to headquarters and answer a few questions. A bewildered Laura finds Chase
Donovan, her boss’s son, coming to her aid.
“Laura works for
my father,” Chase said. “If I don’t see some identification, she’s not going
anywhere with you.” To prove his point, his hand moved downward and his fingers
wrapped gently around her forearm.
Chase also worked
for his father, although what his role was within the business was generally
debatable among the clientele. This was so embarrassing. In the three years
Laura had worked as Dick Donovan’s bookkeeper, her conversations with his son
had been work-related or cordial exchanges about the weather. If there was any
chance of the floor opening up and swallowing her, she considered now the
perfect time.
She turned to
Chase. “Thank you for your concern. I’ve seen their identification.” She didn’t
mention the hasty badge flip. “They have me confused with someone else. I’ll
take care of the error, and get back to the office as soon as I can.”
“Let me go with
you.” Chase tossed the men a wary glance. He still held her arm. “You should
have an attorney.”
Laura winced,
truly mortified. There was no need for an attorney or involving Chase Donovan
in calling one. She had done nothing illegal. “I’m fine.”
