Excerpt:

“Can you do me a favor?”

The officer looked up, waiting.

“That bat’s awful important to Jenna. Seeing as how tonight went down, I understand why. Bet you do, too.” I paused, waiting for him to nod in understanding. “So, I’d appreciate you giving that back to her. She’ll sleep better knowing that boy’s being held on the charges and her bat’s next to her bed.”

The officer studied me for a long minute. Probably trying to decide if I was involved with Jenna as more than a client. I kept my easy smile in place.

“I have a sixteen-year-old daughter. She carries pepper spray and a Taser. Can’t ever be too safe.”

I patted the crisp blue uniform at his shoulder. “Glad we agree.”

“I’m a big fan, Mr. Grace. Wish we hadn’t met like this, though.” His eyes skittered toward the door, narrowing at the corners. Judging Jenna— incorrectly, I’d wager.

Yep, I’d be smart to leave the lady alone. My years of bad behavior, my needs, and my idiosyncrasies, hell even my fame rubbed onto her.

Jenna already struggled with a past and some unresolved issues.

I unfolded my arm and reached into my pocket, digging out another Werther’s. I popped it into my mouth. The warm caramel flavor helped, slowed my spinning mind. But not as much as Jenna. For whatever reason, she eased the vicious aches and roils of my brain.

Jenna raised her head and met my eyes across the room. One beat turned to three, five, twenty and we stared at each other.

And with each breath, we both relaxed. With each breath, our focus narrowed down to the most important person in the room: each other.

Hell.

I wanted this woman. Couldn’t explain why or how she affected me so, especially when no other woman ever had.
