EXCERPT:
Nick
Navarro had been out of prison exactly thirty-five hours. Long enough to get a
good night’s sleep, stock up on a few necessities, and visit his old friends,
the Santiago brothers. Then he’d started putting his P.I. skills to good use,
methodically searching for the woman he hadn’t forgotten a single detail about
during the fifteen months of his incarceration.
He
intended to hunt down the bastards who had framed him and offed his childhood
friend so he could repay them in spades.
Sasha
Porter was the key.
At
first glance, it looked as if she had disappeared off the face of the earth.
She’d fled her house, quit her job, abandoned her car, maybe even changed her
name. But his gut told him she was still alive. She had reasons to fight.
He
would burn down the world until he found her.
Nick
was forcing himself not to pace manically when his doorbell rang, sounding
above the din of pounding rain. He zipped his gaze to the clock. Quarter ’til
midnight. Obviously this wasn’t a social call. Had his late buddy’s enemy
gotten wind of him shaking the trees for Sasha? Or had that corrupt son of a
bitch just come back for another pound of flesh?
With
every light in the living room on, Nick couldn’t pretend he wasn’t home.
Besides, he refused to let this asshole think he was afraid. So he drew his
weapon and jerked the door open, wearing a snarl.
Nick
expected trouble, a gunfight, a battle for his life. Instead, Sasha Porter
stood under his little portico, clinging near the door to avoid the deluge of
November rain. Without a coat, she shivered. An exhausted little girl slept on
her hip under a baby blanket, blond curls askew. A ragged duffel bag hung over
her other arm. Rain had seeped through Sasha’s tattered blouse. Water ran down
her cheek, which was marred with an unmistakable bruise. Dark circles
discolored the skin under her hazel eyes, now wide with fear as she stared at
his SIG. Cursing, Nick scrambled to holster his weapon.
