Exclusive Excerpt:
“Keep away.” Francesca
snarled the warning, her gun aimed at Kacy’s face.
The petite Latina with
a cool composure probably inherited from a cat, didn’t look daunted at all to
be facing down the barrel of a gun. “I’m not here to kill you. Just making sure
you aren’t planning to shoot Darren.” Darren being Kacy’s boss. And Francesca’s
ex-lover.
“I should. It would
make things easier.” So much so if all Francesca needed was to shoot him. “He
wasn’t supposed to be here. He ruined everything.” Ruined it with his angry
glares--and reminders of a time when those lips used to purse in pleasure, not
disdain.
“What’s wrong? Did your
new boyfriend not like the one you dumped showing up?” The wind snatched the
words from Kacy’s mouth, but the woman stood close enough for Francesca to hear
them.
“You don’t understand.
No one does. There’s more at stake than you know.”
“Then perhaps you
should explain.”
How to make clear that
she had no choice? “I was trying, but the Stefanov arrived. He didn’t take
kindly to Darren’s treatment of me.” A well-deserved harangue, given what she’d
done to him. Some men had a hard time letting go.
“Was that the plan all
along? To have Stefanov lure Darren to this island so he could kill him?”
“What? Of course not.”
If Francesca wanted Darren dead, she’d do it herself. “You shouldn’t speculate
on things you know nothing about.”
“I know that someone is
trying to kill Darren, and right about now, you and Stefanov seem like the most
likely suspects.”
Stefanov might have his
own agenda, but her? “I’m not trying to kill him.” She might be the only one
other than Kacy who wasn’t.
“Weren’t you the one
claiming the killer was on this island? How else would you know unless it’s you
or your new boyfriend?”
The conversation was
going nowhere, and Francesca recognized it for what it was. A stalling tactic.
She kept her gun steady even when it startled by the arrival of a new player.
“Francesca isn’t the
one behind the murder attempts.” Darren’s voice cut through the storm--cold,
angry.
She didn’t even think about
it, simply angled the gun away from Kacy and pointed it at Darren.
Not one of her
brightest moves.
The petite Kacy wasn’t
one to waste an opportunity. She lunged forward, thrusting out and punching
Francesca in the tit. It shocked more than it hurt and drew a gasp from
Francesca. Her fingers loosened enough that Kacy knocked the gun from her hand.
But Francesca didn’t
retaliate. Didn’t wipe the smug smirk off Kacy’s face, mostly because she knew
that fighting wouldn’t win her this battle.
