![]() A Harmless Little Ruse
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / iBooks -- EXCERPT: I wake up to an empty bed. It’s not mine. Lindsay’s gone. I can feel a change in the air. I jump to my feet, instantly alert, blood pumping to arms and legs that are battle-ready. Her bedroom room smells like lavender and beeswax, mingled with the hot scent of sex. I swear her heat still lingers on the sheets. The ceiling fan is still, the room crackling with silence. I grab my gun belt and -- What the hell? My weapon is missing. Gun’s gone. Lindsay’s gone. Oh, shit. She didn’t? She did. “Gentian,” I bark as I shove my earpiece in. “Where’s Lilac?” Lilac’s her code name. “With you,” he responds. “Negative.” Dead air. “Gentian?” “I don’t know, sir. No one’s seen her. Last we knew, she was locked in her bedroom with you.” No trace of irony. No hint of teasing. If he had even one whiff of either, he’d have his ass handed to him. And he knows it. “She’s gone, Gentian. Find her.” “Yes, sir.” The instant flurry of activity in the house matches my organs. They rearrange themselves inside me as I assess the situation, which is pretty fucking simple. Lindsay stole my gun and ran away. Doesn’t get much simpler than that. Last night was the first time in four damn years that I slept. Actual REM sleep. The night those bastards tortured us was the first night of my new life. A life without sleep. And last night? I slept like someone who had finally come home. “Jesus,” I mutter to myself. “Great job, Drew. She totally snowed you.” I have to hand it to Lindsay. She fooled me. I believed her act the entire time. She managed to outwit us all. Damn smart woman. Damn dangerous, too. ![]()
