AVERY
MY HEART IS RACING, and my flesh is on fire.
Chance.
Chance Bridger.
I’m standing in front of Chance Bridger—the man who broke my heart
fifteen years ago.
You think there’s a woman out there for me?
I’d like to think there is.
What was I thinking, answering him like that?
I knew he was single. That he’d never left the ranch. I’m in the FBI and
have access to all the intel I want on him. Except I hadn’t looked into him
until my supervisor put me on the case. To do so would have been too
painful.
McGuinness knew the case was in my hometown. What he didn’t know
was that I’d been in a relationship with the suspect…and more.
One look at Chance and I’m that eighteen-year-old girl again, believing
his professions of love and devotion, giving him the gift I could only give
once. Trusting him. Loving him.
God, after all these years, the wound still hasn’t healed. I didn’t want to
come back, but this is my job, and my hometown. I’m the best person for the
case.
I’m a trained special agent for the FBI, so I know how to keep my
emotions in check. No way can he have any idea how much I’m quaking
inside at this moment, how my legs are jelly and I’m forcing them to stand.
How amazing he looks. Older. Bigger. He was big at eighteen, but now?
Broad shoulders, barrel chest, the same chiseled jaw, and piercing eyes. He’s
even more handsome now than he was back then, which I didn’t think was
possible.
“You?” Chance shakes his head, his blue eyes boring into me. “Avery. I
can’t fucking believe it.”
I solidify my stance. “Believe it. I just got back from Detective Peterson’s
office. He wasn’t happy that we’re taking the reins, but he’ll deal.”
“He’s a dick,” Chance mutters. He runs a hand over the back of his neck.
So are you.
I want to say the words so badly. I want to cry and scream and shout
about how he shattered my heart all those years ago. I want answers, damn it.
I deserve answers. He left me broken. So broken. And alone when I needed
him the most.
But I maintain my professional countenance like a heavy winter coat
because I don’t have a choice. He hurt me once. I’ll work this case and
nothing more. I’ll move on, just like I did before. But I have my eyes wide
open now. I know what Chance is really like and I will protect my heart.
I shrug, playing nonchalant. “Locals are never happy when the Feds take
over. We’re used to it.”
