“What Do You Think Of The Sheriff’s Office?”
Hunter asked as he showed Gaylynn around.
“Tack a few girlie posters on the wall and it would look just like your old tree house.”
Hunter grinned at her tart comment. This was the Gaylynn he knew and loved.
Whoa there, he ordered his runaway thoughts.
Love? Where had that come from? Falling for Gaylynn would be like eating gunpowder—you know it’s going to detonate sooner or later.
But damn, she looked good in those jeans!
“Want to see my extra-heavy-duty handcuffs?” He tugged open the top drawer and dangled them in front of her.
“Can I use them on you?” she inquired.
Not trusting that fiendish gleam in her eye—was it caused by passion or anticipation of revenge for that gum in her hair all those years ago?—he heard himself promising, “Only if we’re in bed.”

“No!” Gaylynn Janos screamed. “No.don’t!”
Sitting straight up in bed, Gaylynn blinked away the tears and dragged in ragged lungfuls of air. Her breathing remained unsteady as she tried to shake off the shrouds of the vivid nightmare she’d just had—a nightmare that was based on reality. She’d lived it all again—the reflective shimmer of the switchblade, the stark terror.
“It’s okay,” she whispered to herself, the sound of her shaking voice penetrating the silence in the otherwise empty cabin. “You’re safe now.”
Still trembling, Gaylynn reached out to check the time on her travel alarm resting on the bedside table. It was three o’clock. The muted daylight sneaking through the crack in the drapes told her it was afternoon. She’d been so tired after the fourteen-hour drive from Chicago to North Carolina that she’d fallen asleep on the bed while still fully dressed.
It probably would have been smarter to have overnighted along the way, but once she’d made the decision to come to her big brother Michael’s secluded Blue Ridge Mountain cabin she hadn’t wanted to stop until she’d reached its comforting safety. She’d hoped to leave the nightmares behind.
“No such luck,” she muttered, scooting over to the edge of the bed and planting her feet firmly on the pine floor. The sound of her stomach growling reminded her of the fact that she’d gone to bed without eating.
She’d just finished making herself a quick salami sandwich from the food she’d brought with her when she caught sight of the cardboard carton Michael and his wife, Brett, had given her right before Gaylynn had left their wedding reception in Chicago the night before.
