The moment he took the turn to his ranch, Sheriff Egan McCall spotted the emergency lights flashing on the vehicle just ahead. He groaned. Then he cursed.
Even in the darkness, he recognized the old white truck. It was parked on the shoulder of the narrow country road, and the driver was definitely someone he didnât want to see tonight. Or any other night for that matter.
Jordan Gentry.
Egan had only wanted to get home and get some sleep since heâd just pulled a twelve-hour shift and was bone tired. But sleeping anytime soon likely wasnât going to happen if he had to deal with Jordan first.
What the heck was she doing out here anyway?
The only place on this road was the McCall Ranch, which meant Jordan had probably been going there to see him. That couldnât be right, though. Jordan hadnât spoken a word to him in two years, and Egan wanted it to stay that way.
He pulled to a stop behind her truck and dragged in a deep breath that he hoped would steel him up. He hated, too, that steeling up was even required when it came to Jordan. Once, sheâd been his high school sweetheart, but that felt like a lifetime ago. Now she was just part of the nightmarish memories that he still hadnât figured out a way to forget.
Egan got out, walking on the gravel shoulder to the driverâs side. Since the engine wasnât running, he looked inside, expecting to see Jordan behind the wheel ready to complain about not being able to get her truck started. But both the headlights and emergency lights were on, so this couldnât be about a dead battery. Maybe she was having engine trouble.
Jordan wasnât there, though, in the cab of the truck. No one was. But Egan spotted something he definitely hadnât wanted to see.
